FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures snapped snap a four-session decline on Friday evening, seeing its strongest gains in nearly three weeks, on a weaker production outlook and tracking overnight gains in U.S. soyoil.
* U.S. soybean and corn futures posted losses for the fourth straight week on worries about the escalating trade dispute between the United States and China, although prices rose for the day on Friday as some traders covered short positions.

MARKET NEWS
* World shares rose on Friday but still registered their biggest weekly decline in three months on continuing global trade tensions, while oil prices surged after OPEC decided on only modest increases in crude production.
