VEGOILS-Market Factors to Watch Oct 20
20/10/2014 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil rose on Friday, as traders snapped up deals after a two-day selloff and bet on improving fundamentals over the weekend, but gains were limited as some investors waited for clearer direction.
* U.S. soybean and corn futures each fell more than 1 percent on Friday as clearing skies in the Midwest signaled a quicker pace in the harvest of record-large crops and increased farmer selling, traders said.
* Oil prices rose slightly on Friday, bouncing from near four-year lows even while marking a fourth straight weekly loss, as investors bought back into a market they said was oversold, and as fighting in Iraq increased political risk.
MARKET NEWS
* World equity markets rallied, with European stocks surging the most in more than two years, and bond prices slid on Friday as investors poured back into beaten-down markets on solid U.S. corporate earnings and rising consumer sentiment.
