Glacier FarmMedia – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange were mixed on Wednesday, amidst lower comparable oil prices and a stronger Canadian dollar.

Chicago soyoil ended the day higher despite trading lower for most of the session. An analyst said the rallies for canola and soyoil will eventually run out of steam. European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil were down.

Crude oil was also mixed ahead of peace talks between the United States and Iran on Thursday. Reuters reported today that OPEC+ is considering raising oil output by 137,000 barrels per day in April.
