VEGOILS-Palm tracks weakness in Chicago soyoils, Dalian vegetable oils

JAKARTA, April 15 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures fell for a second consecutive session on Tuesday, weighed down by lacklustre performances in Chicago soyoil and Dalian vegetable oils.

The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for June delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange lost 69 ringgit, or 1.65%, to 4,101 ringgit ($931.20) a metric ton by 0231 GMT.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 fell 0.49%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 was down 0.73%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) BOc2 lost 0.45%.

* Palm oil tracks price movements of rival edible oils as it competes for a share of the global vegetable oils market.

* Oil prices climbed in early trading, boosted by new tariff exemptions floated by U.S. President Donald Trump and a rebound in China crude oil imports in anticipation of tighter Iranian supply.O/R

* Stronger crude oil futures make palm a more attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.

* Palm oil FCPOc3 may retest support at 4,072 ringgit per metric ton, a break below could trigger a drop to 4,026 ringgit, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said.TECH/C

MARKET NEWS

* Asia shares edged higher, helped by gains in auto companies after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested he might grant exemptions on auto-related levies already in place.MKTS/GLOB
