Palm declines for fourth day on weaker Dalian soyoil, crude oil
JAKARTA, Nov 15 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Friday for a fourth straight session and were poised for their first weekly decline in four, weighed down by softer Dalian soyoil and crude oil.
The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for January delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange lost 24 ringgit, or 0.48%, to 4,940 ringgit ($1,102.92) a metric ton by 0232 GMT.
The contract has fallen 2.7% so far in the week.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 fell 0.65%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 rose 0.89%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOc2 were up 0.09%.
* Palm oil tracks price movements of rival edible oils, as it competes for a share in the global vegetable oils market.
* Chicago soybean and corn futures fell for a fourth straight session, as traders worried that biofuel policy changes under the incoming U.S. presidential administration of Republican Donald Trump would chill domestic demand.GRA/
* The European Parliament sought on Thursday to water down a ban on the import of commodities such as beef and soy linked to deforestation, and backed a one-year delay to the new rule, in a fresh push-back against the EU's environmental agenda.
* Oil prices edged down as oversupply concerns and demand worries stemming from a stronger dollar outweighed a steep draw in U.S. fuel stocks.O/R
* Weaker crude oil futures make palm a less attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.
* Palm oil may revisit its Nov. 14 low of 4,826 ringgit per ton, as its correction from 5,205 ringgit looks incomplete, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said. TECH/C
