VEGOILS-Market Factors to Watch Aug 5
05/08/2014 (Reuters) – The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Monday as fears of rising output amid slackening overseas demand piled pressure on to the tropical oil, while weaker comparative soyoil prices weighed.
* U.S. wheat futures climbed for a fourth straight session on Monday, gaining nearly 2 percent, as grain quality concerns in Western Europe due to persistent rain increased investor appetite for U.S. supplies.
* Oil prices on both sides of the Atlantic climbed on Monday, as investors shifted their attention from worries about swelling supplies to concerns about ongoing violence in Libya and other global hotspots.
MARKET NEWS
* Bond prices rallied and European bank stocks rose on Monday after Portugal forged a plan to prevent the collapse of one of its biggest lenders.
