KUALA LUMPUR: The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets on Tuesday.

FUNDAMENTALS
* Malaysian palm oil futures edged up on Monday to snap a three-day losing
streak, although lacklustre export demand and investor uncertainty about
November crude palm oil output in the world’s biggest growers capped the gain.

* U.S. soybeans jumped 1 percent on Monday, rebounding from an earlier one-week
low after government and private reports showed larger-than-expected demand from
exporters and crushers.
* Oil pared early losses on Monday after Russia and Venezuela appeared to be
coordinating on a price defense plan, but Brent and U.S. crude still ended lower
on worries over Japan’s recession. 

MARKET NEWS
* Oil prices fell and global equity markets were mixed on Monday after news that
Japan unexpectedly slipped into recession in the third quarter renewed concerns
about world growth.
