Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm – Intercontinental Exchange canola futures swung higher on Wednesday morning, attempting to recover the previous day’s losses.
Support for canola came from upticks in Chicago soyoil and European rapeseed, but losses in Chicago soybeans and soymeal as well as Malaysian palm oil limited the climb higher. Modest gains in crude oil were spilling over into the vegetable oils.
The Prairie forecast called for more temperatures in the mid 20 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, but rain is expected for Thursday in some parts of the region.
