The following factors are likely to influence Malaysian palm oil futures and other vegetable oil markets.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures slipped for a third session to their lowest in more than a week,

tracking declines in competing oil markets.

* U.S. soybeans fell to contract lows while corn eased 1.7 percent on Tuesday, pressured by

faster-than-normal spring plantings and overall favorable crop conditions in the United States.

* Oil prices fell more than 3 percent on Tuesday, with U.S. crude extending losses for a fifth

straight day as the dollar rallied and on evidence that the United States and top oil exporter

Saudi Arabia were pumping more than the world needed.

MARKET NEWS

* U.S. and European equities rose to trade near record highs on Tuesday, and the euro tumbled on

signals the European Central Bank may accelerate its 1 trillion euro bond-buying program over

the next two months.
