WINNIPEG, July 19 (MarketsFarm) – The ICE Futures canola market is undergoing a correction on Tuesday after yesterday’s gains.

Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar is making some gains against the United States greenback, moving up 0.2 of a cent and putting pressure on canola prices.

Manitoba could see some severe thunderstorms on Tuesday, with heavy amounts of rain to come with it. The weather forecast for the rest of the Prairies will be warm and sunny.
