ICE Canada Morning Comment: Canola steps back

By Glen Hallick

Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm – Intercontinental Exchange canola futures were lower on Monday morning, correcting from Friday’s gains.

Although increases in the Chicago soy complex underpinned canola, Malaysian palm oil was relatively steady and MATIF rapeseed was sown slightly. Modest upticks in crude oil lent support to the vegetable oils.

Despite canola’s losses, the January contract held a little bit above its 20- and 50-day moving averages.

Lackluster canola exports continued to weigh on values as China continues to remain outside the Canadian market.
