WINNIPEG, Aug. 22 (MarketsFarm) – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) were on the rise at midday Monday, despite pressure from declines in key comparable oils.
Global crude oil prices were backtracking, which weighed on vegetable oils. In turn that was generating losses in Chicago soyoil and in the off session of Malaysian palm oil. However, support was derived from double-digits increases in Chicago soybeans and soymeal, with more moderate upticks in European rapeseed.
An analyst commented the canola-rapeseed spread now has the Canadian oilseed at a premium, which is very likely to curtail canola exports to Europe. That said, the analyst said canola oil exports across the Atlantic could increase. He also noted that trading in Europe has returned to normal following the end of the vacation season.
