WINNIPEG, Nov. 19 (MarketsFarm) – ICE Futures canola contracts were higher at midday Tuesday, getting support from strong gains in Chicago soyoil, according to a Winnipeg-based trader.
Prices for soyoil on the Chicago Board of Trade were up by about 45/100 of a United States cent.
Despite that support from soyoil, canola hasn’t moved as much, noted the trader. Rather canola has remained in a narrow range.
That said, the product values have jumped by approximately C$7 compared to the C$2 gain canola was receiving, he commented.
