KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures

rose to a two-month high on Tuesday evening, charting a third

straight session of gains, as the Malaysian ringgit and

the Indonesian rupiah weakened and related edible oils

moved higher.

A weaker ringgit, palm oil's traded currency, makes it

cheaper for holders of foreign currencies. The ringgit fell 0.2

percent to 4.1370 against the dollar, its lowest since Nov. 22.

The benchmark palm oil contract for November delivery

on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was up 1.8

percent at 2,298 ringgit ($555.47) a tonne at the close of

trade. It earlier rose as much as 1.9 percent to 2,301 ringgit,

its strongest levels since July 5.

Traded volumes stood at 38,842 lots of 25 tonnes each at the

end of the day. (1FCPO-TOT)

"Palm opened higher taking cues from gains in competing

vegetable oils. Malaysia's ringgit and Indonesia's rupiah are

also both weak," said a futures trader in Kuala Lumpur.

Indonesia is the world's largest producer and exporter of

palm oil. It's currency fell 0.8 percent to 14,930 against the

dollar on Tuesday, its weakest in a decade.

In related oils, the Chicago December soybean oil contract

was up 0.6 percent, while January soybean oil on China's

Dalian Commodity Exchange jumped 1.7 percent.

Dalian January palm oil rose 2.1 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 may rise to 2,322 ringgit per tonne in a week, as

suggested by its wave pattern and a projection analysis,

according to Wang Tao, a Reuters market analyst for commodities

and energy technicals.
