KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures opened lower on Monday, mirroring weakness in rival Dalian and Chicago oils, while traders awaited export estimates from cargo surveyors for the July 1-15 period.

* Cargo surveyors are expected to release their estimates of Malaysian palm oil exports for July 1-15 later on Monday.
