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

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures rose on Monday as Indonesia's plan to impose levies

on crude palm exports triggered hasty buying from the top producer, although

traders say gains are "unsustainable" as the tropical oil battles with dwindling

global demand.

* U.S. soybean, corn and wheat futures climbed 1 percent or more on Monday,

extending gains from late last week as the dollar weakened and investors covered

short positions.

* U.S. crude futures settled more than 1 percent higher on Monday, boosted by a

falling dollar that outweighed pressure on prices from a global supply glut.

MARKET NEWS

* The dollar fell further on Monday on views a Federal Reserve interest rate

hike will come later rather than sooner, and the decline helped boost oil

prices. U.S. stocks gave up gains and closed slightly lower.
