KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures

edged lower on Tuesday evening after three straight sessions of

gains, pressured by a stronger ringgit and weaker related edible

oils.

The benchmark palm oil contract for November delivery

on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was down

0.6 percent at 2,241 ringgit ($545.92) a tonne at the end of the

trading day.

Trading volumes stood at 53,047 lots of 25 tonnes each at

the close of trade. (1FCPO-TOT)

"The market is lower, tracking weaker soyoil and as the

ringgit is firmer," said a futures trader in Kuala Lumpur.

The ringgit was last up 0.1 percent at 4.0960 per

dollar. Gains in the ringgit, the currency of trade for

palm oil, typically make the vegetable oil more expensive for

foreign buyers, thus limiting demand.

Uncertainties surrounding trade talks between China and the

United States have contributed to the bearish trading sentiment

in the palm market, said another trader.

U.S. soybean and soyoil prices were down earlier after U.S.

President Donald Trump told Reuters on Monday he did not expect

much progress from trade talks with China this week in

Washington.

In other related oils, the Chicago December soybean oil

contract was last up 0.1 percent, while the January

soybean oil contract on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange

declined 0.1 percent.

Meanwhile, the Dalian January palm oil contract

edged down 0.04 percent.

Palm oil prices are impacted by movements of other edible

oils, as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils

market.

Palm oil is still targeting a range of 2,269-2,277 ringgit

per tonne as it has cleared a resistance at 2,240 ringgit, said

Wang Tao, a Reuters market analyst for commodities and energy

technicals.
