Glacier Farm Media MarketsFarm – Intercontinental Exchange canola futures continued to rise Tuesday morning.
Slight declines in the Chicago soy complex and larger losses in European rapeseed weighed on values, but a little bit of support came from upticks in Malaysian palm oil. Global crude oil prices were slightly lower, which added to the pressure on the oilseeds.
After Monday’s sharp gains, the July canola contract was a little above its 20-day and 100-day moving averages, which underpinned values.
