Glacier Farm Media | MarketsFarm – Intercontinental Exchange canola futures were on the rise late Tuesday morning, being underpinned by support from comparable oils, said a broker.
The broker pointed to the increases in Chicago soyoil in particular, which was up by about 7/10ths of a U.S. cent per pound. He added that the gains in canola were trying to encourage some farmer selling.
There were also gains in European rapeseed and Chicago soybeans but declines in Malaysian palm oil and Chicago soymeal. Crude oil dipped a little, putting some pressure on the vegetable oils.
