VEGOILS-Market Factors to Watch Feb 10
10/02/2016 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures hit their highest level in nearly 21 months on Friday and posted their biggest weekly jump in over four months on short-covering ahead of a long weekend and concerns over declining production.
* U.S. wheat futures dropped to their lowest level since 2010 after the U.S. government on Thursday said year-end global supplies would be the biggest in history.
* Oil prices slid for a fourth straight session on Tuesday and teetered close to 12-1/2-year lows hit last month, after weak demand forecasts from the U.S. government and the western world's energy watchdog, while weak equities also pressured prices.
MARKET NEWS
* U.S. stocks recovered from early losses to end slightly lower on Tuesday while European shares plunged for a second straight day on fears of slowing global growth, with particular concern over the health of the banking sector.
