WINNIPEG, Sept. 2 (MarketsFarm) – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) were moderately on the rise at midday Friday.
Spillover was coming from a turnaround in Chicago soybeans and soyoil, with good gains being made, but soymeal was slightly lower. Strong upticks in European rapeseed provided additional support, while losses in Malaysian palm oil were tempering further increases. Concerns over crude oil supplies led to prices increasing, with spillover going into vegetable oils.
An analyst warned there could be a good amount of volatility in the markets for the next several weeks. That’s largely due to another round of COVID-19 lockdown measures in China affecting the global economy, which is already on the verge of a recession.
