ICE Midday: Canola extends Thursday’s gains

Glacier FarmMedia — Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange were on the rise in the middle of Friday trading despite weaker vegetable oils.

An analyst said the January canola contract will need to reach C$640 per tonne in order for there to be “meaningful bullishness”. He also said the planted area for canola in 2026 will be “interesting” due to the current trade war and canola’s price structure.

Chicago soyoil, European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil were in the red. However, crude oil continued to rise after the United States and European Union implemented new sanctions against Russian oil and gas companies.
