WINNIPEG, Sept. 8 – Canola contracts on the ICE Futures Canada platform were stronger at midday Tuesday, seeing a corrective bounce to start the week after posting steep losses ahead of the Labour Day long weekend.
“Canola is seeing a good rally today,” said a broker, adding that advances in CBOT soyoil were providing spillover support. Fresh export business was also supportive.
Harvest delaying rains in parts of Western Canada over the weekend contributed to the gains. A lack of significant farmer selling was also noted, as declining cash prices discouraged some country movement.
