WINNIPEG (MarketsFarm) Jan. 25 – Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) canola futures were mostly lower in the old crop months at midday Tuesday, as the liquidation carried on to some extent, according to a trader.
“It’s not an avalanche by any means. Some are rolling into July, some are rolling into new crop or moving elsewhere,” he commented, noting that canola “still remains in the stratosphere.”
He stressed there was still good support coming from other veg oils, including Malaysian palm oil which was also been very high lately.
