Glacier FarmMedia — ICE canola futures were weaker Wednesday morning, as a selloff in crude oil spilled into the global vegetable oil markets.
- The United States, Israel and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire shortly before a deadline imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump Tuesday evening, although details of the terms remain unclear.
- Crude oil fell sharply on the news, with Brent crude down 17 per cent at US$90.55 Wednesday morning.
- Chicago soyoil, European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil futures were all lower, contributing to the softer tone in canola.
- Chart-based speculative selling added to the softer tone in canola, although historically wide crush margins likely had end users buying on the way down.
