WINNIPEG – The ICE Futures canola market was taking a step back after nine straight positive sessions, despite mixed sentiment in comparable oils.
Chicago soyoil was on the rise, but European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil were both lower. Crude oil was higher due to supply cuts from Russia and a slowly recovering Chinese economy.
One analyst said that canola was overbought and funds have decided to reverse their positions. The analyst also said that despite hot and dry weather, it is too early to write off the Western Canadian canola crop just yet.
