WINNIPEG, Sept. 12 (MarketsFarm) – Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Futures canola contracts were stronger on Thursday gleaning spillover support from a strong soybean complex on the Chicago Board of Trade.
Gains were observed in the canola market despite the most recent report from Statistics Canada, which estimated a larger canola output than originally expected.
The report pegged canola production at 19.358 million tonnes, which was up by about 900,000 tonnes from estimates in August.
World Agriculture Supply Demand Estimates (WASDE) released today by the United States Department of Agriculture (WASDE) were supportive of soybean prices.
