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

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures rose on Friday, ending a second week of gains, but

volumes were thin as Easter holidays in some countries sapped interest in

markets.

* U.S. wheat futures jumped to their highest level in six weeks on Thursday on

worries that rains in the U.S. Plains next week will be insufficient to relieve

intensifying drought conditions.

* Brent oil fell nearly 4 percent on Thursday after a preliminary pact between

Iran and global powers on Tehran's nuclear program, even as officials set

further talks in June and analysts questioned when the OPEC member will be

allowed to export more crude.

MARKET NEWS

* Asian shares rose and the dollar dropped on Monday, after a dismal U.S. jobs

report pushed up U.S. Treasury yields as investors pared bets the U.S. Federal

Reserve would hike interest rates anytime soon.
