17/05/2017 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures edged up a fraction on Tuesday as the market rebounded from earlier profit taking, driven by a drop in production figures.

* U.S. soybean futures rose 1.1 percent on Tuesday, supported by strong export demand for U.S. supplies despite a massive crop from South American producers Brazil and Argentina.

* Oil prices fell 1 percent on Wednesday after data showed an increase in U.S. crude inventories, stoking concerns that markets remain oversupplied despite efforts by top producers Saudi Arabia and Russia to cut output.

MARKET NEWS

* U.S. share futures and the dollar slipped in early Asian trade on Wednesday after reports that President Donald Trump asked then-FBI Director James Comey to end a probe into his former security adviser.
