WINNIPEG, Oct. 3 (MarketsFarm) – The ICE Futures canola market was higher on Thursday morning, supported mainly by a weaker Canadian dollar and persistent wet weather in the Canadian Prairies.
The Canadian dollar has been hovering around 75 U.S. cents for most of the week, and dipped below to 74.9 U.S. cents on Thursday morning, making canola exports comparatively more attractive.
Harvest activity remains delayed due to wet weather and snow in some areas.
About 5,000 canola contracts had traded as of 8:35 CDT.
Prices in Canadian dollars per metric ton at 8:35 CDT:
Price Change
Canola Nov 458.10 up 2.40
Jan 466.70 up 2.10
Mar 475.00 up 1.90
May 481.90 up 1.60
