VEGOILS-Palm gains on stronger rival oils, weaker ringgit

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures rose on Tuesday, supported by stronger rival vegetable oils and a weaker ringgit. The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for February delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange rose 23 ringgit, or 0.49%, to 4,722 ringgit ($1,058.27) a metric ton in early trade. The contract rose 1.23% on Monday after three consecutive sessions of losses. FUNDAMENTALS * Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 rose 0.5%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 gained 1.56%.
