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

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures ended higher on Monday after touching their lowest level this

month, lifted by strong exports in the No.2 grower, but a delay to export levies in the world's

top producer Indonesia mounted some pressure onto the contract.

* U.S. grains and oilseeds fell more than 1 percent on Friday, with soybeans tumbling to the

lowest levels since October in a broad commodities selloff as the dollar rallied against a

basket of global currencies.

* Crude oil futures rose on Monday as firm global demand offset a strong dollar, although a

holiday in the United States and much of Europe kept trading muted.

MARKET NEWS

* Asian shares fell in early trading on Tuesday, while the dollar held near highs scaled in

holiday-thinned trading in the previous session.
