KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Malaysian palm oil futures

rebounded from a one-week low on Friday, tracking rises in crude

oil prices.

The market earlier fell on concerns of oversupply and

overnight soyoil weakness on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT).

The benchmark palm oil contract for March delivery

on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was up 0.4 percent to

2,171 ringgit ($530.29) a tonne at the close of trade.

It earlier fell to 2,146 ringgit, its lowest since Jan. 4,

but traded flat for the week.

Trading volumes stood at 22,365 lots of 25 tonnes each at

the end of the trading day. (1FCPO-TOT)

"Palm prices rose on crude oil's gains," said a Kuala Lumpur

based trader.

Oil prices rose 1 percent on Friday, on track for solid

weekly gains after financial markets strengthened due to hopes

the United States and China may soon resolve their trade

dispute.

Tightened supply following OPEC-led cuts in crude output

also aided gains, but fears of an economic slowdown have kept

markets in check.

Palm oil prices are impacted by movements in crude oil, as

it is used as feedstock to make biodiesel.

The Chicago March soybean oil contract fell 1.4

percent on Thursday, but was last up 0.5 percent on Friday.

In other related oils, the March soybean oil contract on the

Dalian Commodity Exchange fell 0.5 percent, and the

Dalian January palm oil contract rose 0.4 percent.
