* Ringgit at strongest in two months

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures

fell on Friday for a second straight session, weighed down by a

stronger ringgit and weaker soyoil prices.

The benchmark palm oil contract for January delivery

on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was down

0.4 percent at 2,797 ringgit ($667.54) a tonne at the close of

trade.

It has shed 0.3 percent this week in a second straight

weekly decline.

Traded volumes stood at 46,612 lots of 25 tonnes each on

Friday evening.

"Today's market decline is in line with the external market,

following the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) crop

report," said a futures trader from Kuala Lumpur.

The USDA raised its corn crop forecast to 14.578 billion

bushels, based on an average yield of 175.4 bushels per acre

(bpa), which, if realised, would top a record set last year.

The December soybean oil contract on the Chicago

Board of Trade fell 0.4 percent after the USDA crop report

showed unexpectedly high corn yields.

In other related oils, the January soybean oil contract on

the Dalian Commodity Exchange was down 1.1 percent,

while the January palm olein contract dropped 1.4

percent.

Palm oil is impacted by other edible oils as they compete

for a share of the global vegetable oils market.

The continued appreciation of the ringgit also

dragged down palm oil, said another trader.

A stronger ringgit makes the edible oil more expensive for

foreign currency holders.

The ringgit, palm's currency of trade, rose to its strongest

against the dollar in nearly two months and was up 0.4 percent

at 4.1900 per dollar on Friday evening.
