SINGAPORE, April 24 (Reuters) -Malaysian palm oil futures rose for a third consecutive session on Wednesday amid hotter weather in the key producing nation and higher soyoil prices, although a stronger ringgit capped gains.

The benchmark palm oil contract FCPOc3 for July delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange rose 41 ringgit, or 1.03% to 4,012 ringgit ($840.56) a metric ton, as of 0230 GMT.

It had gained 0.53% during overnight trade.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Malaysia's meterological agency increased the issuance of Level 1 hot weather alerts to over 20 areas on Tuesday evening. Hot weather negatively affects palm yields.

* Dalian's most-active soyoil contract DBYcv1 rose 1.05%, while its palm oil contract DCPcv1 increased 1.05%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade BOcv1 ticked up 0.07%.

* Soyoil prices rose as soybeans edged up slightly on U.S. spring planting risks.

* Palm oil is affected by price movements in related oils as they compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market.

* The Malaysian ringgit MYR=, palm's currency of trade, strengthened 0.1% against the dollar. A stronger ringgit makes palm oil less attractive for foreign currency holders.

* Palm oil still targets 4,039 ringgit per ton, as a bounce from the bounce from Monday low of 3,880 ringgit has only partially completed, said Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao. TECH/C

MARKET NEWS

* Asian stocks surged tracking Wall Street, as earnings from U.S. companies, including EV maker Tesla TSLA.O, lifted risk sentiment, while the yen was rooted at 34-year lows keeping traders wary of possible intervention from Tokyo. MKTS/GLOB

* Oil prices rose in early trade, extending gains from Tuesday, after industry data showed a surprise drop in U.S. crude stocks last week, a positive sign for demand, and attention shifted away from hostilities in the Middle East. O/R
