China's soyaoil futures rose more than 2 percent on Tuesday, their biggest intraday gain in nearly 6 months, lifted by a rise in global prices last week and improving demand, analysts said. The most active soyaoil contract on the Dalian Commodity Exchange rose 2.08 percent to 5,786 yuan ($890.04)per tonne by 0300 GMT, tracking a 0.97 percent rise on the Chicago Board of Trade on Friday.

Soyaoil is also getting support ahead of the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year holiday in mid February, a peak consumption period for the vegetable oil.
