WINNIPEG, Aug. 23 (MarketsFarm) – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) were moving lower at midday Tuesday, despite ample spillover from comparable oils.
The Chicago soy complex was on the upswing and there were more moderate increases in the off session of Malaysian palm oil, as well as European rapeseed. Sharp upticks in global crude oil prices were supportive of vegetable oils.
The Prairies are forecast to receive scattered showers today, with any further precipitation to hold off for the rest of the week.
