Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm – Intercontinental Exchange canola futures were higher on Monday morning, getting support from gains in most comparable oils.

There were increases in Chicago soybeans and soyoil, while soymeal edged lower. Malaysian palm oil was higher but European rapeseed was mixed. As crude oil advanced, its spillover underpinned the vegetable oils.

Statistics Canada is set to release its grain stocks as of July 31 report on Tuesday, followed by its production update on Sept. 17.

The Canola Council of Canada criticized the C$370 million the federal government targeted to canola producers and domestic biofuel production. Chris Davidson, the council’s president, said the canola industry isn’t looking for subsidies rather it wants something done about China’s steep tariffs on Canadian canola and its products.
