23/01/2018 (The Star Online) - KUALA LUMPUR: The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets on Tuesday Jan 23.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures ended a four-session decline with a more than 1 percent gain on Monday evening, rising on the back of bullish sentiment at an industry conference held in Karachi this week.

* U.S. soybean futures 0#S: climbed to a five-week high on Monday, in buying fueled by steep gains in soymeal 0#SM: as dry weather in Argentina threatened to cut yields, traders said.

* Oil settled higher on Monday after dollar fluctuations and the restart of some Libyan oil fields caused the market to vacillate, with prices testing lower before rallying to levels just below three-year highs.

MARKET NEWS

* U.S. stocks surged on Monday after senators in Washington reached a deal to reopen the federal government, ending a 2-1/2-day shutdown that world markets largely took in stride.
