Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm — The ICE Futures canola market was weaker Tuesday morning, seeing a continuation of Monday’s correction off nearby highs with speculative positioning a feature.
Losses in Chicago soybeans and soyoil accounted for some spillover selling pressure, with European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil also lower on the day.
Tightening supplies and the need to ration demand remained supportive underneath the market, with the losses likely bringing in some end user bargain hunting.
About 9,000 canola contracts had traded as of 8:38 CDT.
