ICE Canada Morning Comment: Canola climbs higher

By Glen Hallick

Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm – Intercontinental Exchange canola futures bumped up Wednesday morning, gleaning support from most comparable oils.

There were gains in Chicago soybeans and soyoil, as well as MATIF rapeseed. However, losses in Malaysian palm oil and Chicago soymeal tempered the upswing in canola. Increases in crude oil lent support to the vegetable oils.

The January canola contract was just above its 20-day moving average but continued to be well below its other key chart points.

Canola crush margins reversed course, with the November position giving up about C$8 at C$210.25 per tonne above the futures.
