19/05/2017 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Thursday evening, tracking weaker soyoil on the Chicago Board of Trade and other related edible oils on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange.

* U.S. soybean futures fell more than 3 percent on Thursday as a plunge in the value of Brazil's currency encouraged Brazilian farmers to step up sales from their record-large harvest, analysts said.

* Oil futures rose in early trading on Friday on growing optimism that big producing countries will extend output cuts to curb a persistent glut in crude, with key benchmarks heading for a second week of gains.

MARKET NEWS

* Wall Street rebounded on Thursday from its biggest sell-off in more than eight months, helped by strong U.S. economic data, but uncertainty over U.S. President Donald Trump's agenda kept an index of global equity markets near a three-week low.
