WINNIPEG, Jan. 31 (MarketsFarm) – Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) canola futures were mostly higher at midsession on Tuesday, in a show of independent strength according to a trader. The only loss was in the new crop November contract.
Trading was very choppy among the markets, with factors such as the war in Ukraine and Argentina’s need for more rain creating nervousness, he added.
Chicago soybeans had been on the rise earlier this morning but have since turned mixed. Chicago soymeal was down, while there were gains in soyoil. European rapeseed was steady to lower and losses in Malaysian palm oil contributed more pressure. Global crude oil prices were mixed, which didn’t provide a clear direction for vegetable oils.
