WINNIPEG, Feb. 22 (MarketsFarm) – Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Futures canola contracts were mixed on Monday morning, with gains in the old crop months while the new crop months were steady to higher.
Price rationing continues to be a major factor in the increases due to tight canola stocks.
Although canola has been showing independent movement, other edible oils still have some influence. Chicago soyoil and European rapeseed were down, while Malaysian palm oil was higher.
Above normal temperatures across the Prairies will see increased rail movement. However, rain in British Columbia, especially for the Port of Price Rupert, will cause delays in ship loading.
