Updates midday prices and adds trader's comment

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 19 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures rose on Tuesday, buoyed by bargain buying and a recovery in the Dalian palm olein market.

The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for February delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was up 77 ringgit, or 1.57%, at 4,976 ringgit ($1,114.45) a metric ton by the midday break. The contract fell 3.71% in the previous session.

The palm market opened higher and was seen trading up on bargain buying and due to a bullish recovery in Chinese palm olein futures during Asian hours, said Anilkumar Bagani, research head at Sunvin Group.

"The bullish rebound is also due to energy prices and overall tightness in the palm oil supply situation ahead of Indonesia’s B40 biodiesel mandate and the Ramadan holidays," he said.

Separately, traders are =anticipating a market correction, and with the approaching winter season, demand from India is expected to decrease, a Mumbai-based trader said.

"Given that India is price-sensitive as well, exports are projected to decline in November," the trader added.
