Glacier FarmMedia – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange were higher on Wednesday morning, getting support from other vegetable oils.

There were increases in Chicago soyoil, MATIF rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil, but losses in Chicago soybeans and soymeal. Crude oil was relatively steady, providing little direction to the veg oils.

The March canola remained above most of its major moving averages but lagging behind its 200-day average.

It also pushed above its resistance level of C$650 per tonne. Closing above that mark would be supportive.
