ICE Review: Canola Up Sharply on Spillover From Outside Markets
WINNIPEG, Manitoba--The ICE Futures canola market was stronger as spillover from gains in outside markets provided support.
Chicago soyoil, Malaysian palm oil and European rapeseed futures were all higher on Friday, with speculative positioning ahead of the weekend a feature.
Canadian markets will be closed Monday for Victoria Day.
The new-crop November contract moved back above its 200-day moving average, which was supportive from a technical standpoint.
Concerns over seeding delays across the Prairies after recent rain helped underpin the futures, despite ideas the moisture will be good for production in the long run.
Weekly Canadian canola exports of 322,800 metric tons were roughly double what moved the previous week, according to Canadian Grain Commission data. However, total canola exports through 41 weeks of the 2023-24 marketing year at 5.1 million tons were still running about 26% behind the year-ago pace.
An estimated 41,842 contracts traded on Friday, which compares with 34,218 contracts traded Thursday.
Spreading accounted for 25,870 of the contracts traded.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric ton.
