GRAINS-Chicago soybeans slip on weak China demand; corn, wheat ease

BEIJING, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Chicago soybean futures fell on Monday, pressured by concerns over export demand as U.S. trade tensions with top buyer China continued to hang over the market.

Corn and wheat also edged lower amid abundant global supplies.

FUNDAMENTALS
The most active soybean contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Sv1 was down 0.58% at $10.36-4/8 per bushel, as of 0108 GMT.

Corn Cv1 slipped 0.86% to $4.02 a bushel, while wheat Wv1 dropped 0.43% to $5.24-6/8 a bushel.

U.S. soybean exporters risk missing out on billions of dollars worth of sales to China this year as trade talks drag on and buyers in the top oilseed importer lock in cargoes from Brazil for shipment during the key U.S. marketing season, traders said.

The Pro Farmer Midwest crop tour will estimate corn yields and gauge soybean production potential across seven U.S. states this week before issuing its crop outlook on Friday.

Traders will be monitoring findings after the USDA's projection last week of a record-smashing U.S. corn harvest and smaller soybean crop.

Markets are also monitoring developments following U.S. President Donald Trump's talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Alaska over Ukraine. Both Russia and Ukraine are major grain exporters.

Commodity funds were net buyers of Chicago Board of Trade corn, soybean, soyoil and wheat futures contracts on Friday and net sellers of soymeal futures contracts, traders said.

MARKET NEWS
Share markets edged higher in Asia on Monday ahead of what is likely to be an eventful week for U.S. interest rate policy, while oil prices slipped as risks to Russian supplies seemed to fade a little.

VEGOILS-Palm rises on stronger rival Dalian but weak crude oil limits gains

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures rose for the second straight session on Monday, buoyed by stronger rival Dalian edible oils, though weaker crude oil prices capped the gains.

The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for November delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange gained 51 ringgit, or 1.13%, to 4,562 ringgit ($1,080.27) a metric ton in early trade.

FUNDAMENTALS
Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 rose 0.73%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 added 2.42%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 were down 0.38%.

Palm oil tracks price movements of rival edible oils, as they compete for a share of the global vegetable oils market.

Oil prices slipped as the U.S. did not exert more pressure on Russia to end the Ukraine war by implementing further measures to disrupt Russian oil exports after the presidents from both countries met on Friday. O/R

Weaker crude oil futures make palm a less attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.

The ringgit MYR=, palm's currency of trade, weakened 0.29% against the dollar, making the commodity cheaper for buyers holding foreign currencies.

Cargo surveyors estimated that August 1-15 palm oil exports rose between 16.5% and 21.3%.

Indonesia will launch a broader crackdown on the illegal exploitation of natural resources after a survey found that palm plantations on 3.7 million hectares were operating in violation of the law, President Prabowo Subianto said.

Palm oil may test resistance at 4,509 ringgit per metric ton, a break above which could lead to a gain to into 4,563 ringgit to 4,596 ringgit range, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said.

TECHNICALS-Palm oil may test resistance at 4,509 ringgit

SINGAPORE, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Palm oil FCPOc3 may test resistance at 4,509 ringgit per metric ton, a break above which could lead to a gain to into 4,563 ringgit to 4,596 ringgit range.

The rise from the August 4 low of 4,159 ringgit consists of five waves. The current wave (5) is unfolding toward 4,596 ringgit, the 261.8% projection level of the uptrend from 4,225 ringgit.

A rising trendline points at the same target. Immediate support is at 4,455 ringgit, a break below which could open the way toward 4,400 ringgit to 4,421 ringgit range.

On the daily chart, the contract has broken resistance at 4,481 ringgit. The break opened the way toward 4,723 ringgit. A projection analysis on the uptrend from 3,942 ringgit reveals a slightly lower target of 4,677 ringgit.

A close of the market below 4,481 ringgit on August 18 would suggest that the early break above this level was invalid.
