VEGOILS-Market Factors to Watch June 2
02/06/2014 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures on Friday slid to their lowest in over seven months, following soyoil prices down and recording their biggest monthly loss in
nearly two years.
* U.S. wheat eased on Friday to the lowest in nearly three months, capping the futures' biggest monthly decline in almost three years as improving weather for crops kept the market focused on comfortable global supply.
* U.S. crude fell on Friday as traders took profit at the end of the month, although the American benchmark rose 3 percent in May, underpinned by supply worries and strong gasoline demand in the United States.
MARKET NEWS
* Tokyo shares led Asia higher early on Monday, lifted by another closing record on Wall Street and upbeat China data, while the euro held recent gains against the dollar but remained shaky ahead of a closely watched European Central Bank meeting.
