Palm oil surrenders most of early gains on India budget caution
Updates with midday prices
BEIJING, July 23 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures gave up most of their early gains on Tuesday, as concerns surrounding India's annual budget outweighed support from strong July exports.

If the market closes higher for a sixth consecutive session, it would be the market's longest rally since January.
The market is trading on a cautious note ahead of India's budget, where the government is expected to revise import duties on vegetable oils, said Anilkumar Bagani, research head of Mumbai-based vegetable oils broker Sunvin Group.
