ICE canola backs away from overnight gains

By Phil Franz-Warkentin

Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm — The ICE Futures canola market was weaker at midday Monday, retreating from overnight gains as losses in Chicago soyoil spilled over to weigh on values.

Speculative short covering and end user bargain hunting had supported canola overnight, but the futures ran into resistance and turned lower. Declines in crude oil weighed on world vegetable oil markets, with European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil also softer on the day.

However, the underlying fundamentals remain supportive for canola, with tightening supply projections helping temper the declines. Ideas that the losses were looking overdone were also supportive, and canola was holding above last week’s lows at midday.
