Malaysian palm oil futures gained 0.66% for a second consecutive session, supported by stronger rival vegetable oil markets in Dalian and Chicago.
The January contract closed at 4,439 ringgit per metric ton, while Dalian palm oil futures surged 2.55% and Dalian soyoil advanced 0.46%.
Weaker crude oil prices, elevated Malaysian inventories and profit-taking could limit further upside despite continued strength in competing vegetable oil markets.
