KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures rose for a sixth straight session on Wednesday despite a stronger ringgit, as gains in rival Dalian edible oils supported the market.

The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for December delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange climbed 38 ringgit, or 0.95%, to 4,026 ringgit ($977.18) a metric ton by 0238 GMT.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 rose 1.03%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 added 1.04%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 were up 0.18%.

* Palm oil tracks price movements in rival edible oils, as they compete for a share of the global vegetable oils market.

* The ringgit MYR=, palm's currency of trade, strengthened 0.72% against the dollar, making the commodity more expensive for buyers holding foreign currencies.

* Indonesia's palm oil exports in July were 2.241 million metric tons, down 36% from a year earlier, data from Indonesian palm oil association GAPKI showed.

* Oil prices steadied after rising in the previous session on fading excitement for the economic stimulus in China, the world's biggest crude importer, though an industry report showing falling U.S. crude and fuel inventories supported the market. O/R

* Brent crude futures LCOc1 for November were down 0.29% at $74.95 a barrel, as of 0252 GMT. Weaker crude oil futures make palm a less attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.

* Palm oil may test resistance at 4,067 ringgit per metric ton, a break above which could open the way towards 4,120 ringgit to 4,153 ringgit range, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said. TECH/C

MARKET NEWS

* Chinese stocks surged, lifting regional markets and helping extend a stimulus-fuelled global rally that also underpinned risk-sensitive currencies, while Brent crude hovered near a three-week high. MKTS/GLOB
