Glacier FarmMedia – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange were falling back on Monday morning, pressured by weakness in most comparable oils.
There were sharp declines in the Chicago soy complex and crude oil, along with more modest losses in MATIF rapeseed. Malaysian palm oil tracked higher, tempering some of sharpness in canola’s reversal.
The May canola contract remained handily above its major moving averages. The oilseed’s crush margins pushed higher, with its May position exceeding C$295 per tonne above the futures.
