Malaysian palm oil futures rose for a second session in four on Friday as better performing rival soy oil gave the market a late boost even though a stronger ringgit MYR= weighed on prices earlier in the day.
* Malaysian palm oil futures fell to their lowest in over a week on Monday, tracking rival oils and as expectations of a pick up in output offset improving export demand.
* U.S. soybean futures rose on Monday, with the benchmark November contract reaching its highest in a month on strong export demand for U.S. supplies, traders said.
* Oil settled down more than 3 percent on Monday, retreating from last week's two-month highs, on worries about burgeoning Chinese fuel exports, more Iraqi and Nigerian crude shipments and a rising U.S. oil rig count.
MARKET NEWS
