CHICAGO, (Reuters) – ICE canola futures settled slightly higher on Friday on bullish chart signals and commercial buying tied to improved crush margins, traders said.
Most-active November canola settled up $1.60 at $450.50 per tonne, closing above chart support at its 20-day moving average for a third straight session.
However, ample inventories of the oilseed and generally benign crop weather in the Canadian Prairies hung over the market, limiting rallies.
The November-January canola spread traded 2,433 times and widened to settle at $7.60, premium January, from $7.30 on Monday.
