VEGOILS-Market Factors To Watch May 12
12/05/2016 (Reuters) - The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil climbed 0.7 percent on Wednesday to its highest in almost three weeks with prices rising for four out of six sessions on strong demand and a rally in soybeans.
* U.S. soybean and corn futures declined on Wednesday in a light profit-taking setback, one day after bullish soy stocks data in a monthly U.S. government report sent soybeans soaring to the highest levels since 2014.
* Oil jumped on Wednesday, with Brent up more than 4 percent for a second day in a row, after the U.S. government unexpectedly said crude inventories fell the first time since March, adding to concerns over supply outages in Canada and Nigeria.
MARKET NEWS
* U.S. and European stocks retreated on Wednesday amid disappointing corporate earnings, while oil prices surged for a second day as data showed U.S. crude inventories fell unexpectedly last week.
