VEGOILS-Market factors to watch Feb 19(Tuesday)

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

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysian palm oil futures gained on Monday, snapping three straight sessions of losses, as investors expect strong export demand seen in the first half of the month to reduce stocks.

* Grain prices inched higher on Friday in a modest recovery, driven by improving export prospects due to weaker prices, and corn snapped its longest losing skid in 5-1/2 years.

* Brent crude oil consolidated below $118 per barrel on Monday, underpinned by expectations of improving global growth and continuing tensions in the Middle East. MARKET NEWS

* The yen resumed falling on Monday after Japan signalled it would push ahead with expansionist monetary policies having escaped criticism from the world's 20 biggest economies at the weekend.

* Gold prices suffered their sharpest weekly loss in nine months on Friday after crashing through key support levels, and oil and copper fell after a surprise drop in U.S. industrial output sparked concerns about recovery in the world's largest economy.
