WINNIPEG, Aug. 24 (MarketsFarm) – Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) canola futures were higher Tuesday morning, due to spillover from gains in the Chicago soy complex.
Additional support came from increases in European rapeseed, but pressure came from declines in Malaysian palm oil.
Ever tightening canola supplies and uncertainty over this year’s canola production were also supportive of increases. Statistics Canada is scheduled to issue its survey-based production report on Monday.
The nearby ICE canola crush margin contracts finished respectively yesterday at C$3.04 below the November contract on Monday, which was a far cry from the C$41.47 above the futures a month ago.
