ICE Closing Review: Canola retreats to pause rally

Published: 6 hours ago

Glacier FarmMedia – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange were in negative territory on Friday despite rising comparable oils.

Chicago soyoil was up slightly with an analyst saying any time it is between 60 to 65 United States cents per pound was “a bonus.” European rapeseed was mostly higher and Malaysian palm oil was up as well. Crude oil gained nearly US$2 per barrel after nuclear talks between the United States and Iran ended today without a resolution.

China confirmed on Friday it’s suspending its tariffs on Canadian agricultural imports, including canola meal, starting March 1. China’s duty on Canadian canola seed will be reduced to 15 per cent on the same day.
