KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 28 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures snapped a three-day rally on Thursday, tracking weakness in Dalian soyoil and lower crude prices.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 fell 0.07%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 added 0.76%. The Chicago Board of Trade was closed for Thanksgiving holiday.

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

* Oil prices edged lower in Asian trading, after a surprise jump in U.S. gasoline stocks ahead of the nation's Thanksgiving holiday sparked worry over demand in the top consumer of the motor fuel. O/R

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

* The ringgit MYR=, palm's currency of trade, remained unchanged against the dollar.

* Palm oil may retrace into a range of 4,679 ringgit to 4,731 ringgit per metric ton, as it faces resistance at 4,868 ringgit, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said. TECH/C

MARKET NEWS

* Asian shares were subdued and the dollar was on the defensive after U.S. data showed progress in slowing inflation had stalled even as the economy remained resilient, raising doubt over the path the Federal Reserve could take next year. MKTS/GLOB
