ICE Canola Higher With US Soy
By Dave Sims, Commodity News Service Canada
WINNIPEG, June 22 – ICE Canada canola contracts were higher Monday morning, taking strength from the US soy complex, and building on Friday’s rally.
While some rain fell over the weekend, more forecasts are calling for dry weather across the Western Prairies this week which supported prices.
Contracts were finding support at the psychologically important C$500 per tonne level. The bias has shifted to the upside.
However, weakness in Malaysian palm oil and European rapeseed futures helped to limit the gains.
