ICE canola finds new depths

Glacier FarmMedia – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange continued their downturn on Monday with the November contract falling to a six-month low.

Harvest pressure and China’s tariffs on Canadian canola weighed on prices.

The Chicago soy complex was down sharply with soyoil losing nearly one United States cent per pound due to favourable Midwestern weather and no progress in trade between the United States and China.

European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil also declined. Crude oil dropped as oversupply concerns outweighed political tensions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
