WINNIPEG, May 10 (MarketsFarm) – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) were mixed midday Tuesday with a loss in old crop July and gains in the new crop months.
A trader said it’s very likely the result of spreading by either crushers or specs, in selling canola and buying Chicago soyoil.
He also said the delay to spring seeding is not too much of a big deal at this time. For the most part any planting in the eastern half of the Prairies remained at a standstill. Meanwhile, fair progress was being made in the western half, especially in southern Alberta.
