12/04/2017 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Wednesday, falling to their lowest in six months, tracking weaker overnight soyoil on the Chicago Board of Trade and on concerns about higher output.

* U.S. soybean futures rose nearly 1 percent on Wednesday on bargain buying and short-covering, one day after a U.S. government forecast for record global soy inventories pushed the front contract to its lowest level in a year.

* Oil futures fell on Wednesday, pulling back after eight straight sessions of gains after U.S. crude inventory data suggested the market was still heavily supplied.

MARKET NEWS

* The U.S. dollar turned lower along with Treasury yields and stocks on Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump said the dollar is getting too strong and that he would prefer the Federal Reserve keep interest rates low.
