Glacier FarmMedia — ICE Futures canola contracts were posting small gains at midday Monday, recovering from earlier losses as gains in Chicago soyoil provided support.
- The nearby May contract dipped below its 20-day moving average in early activity but moved back above that chart point as the day progressed.
- Chicago soyoil traded just under contract highs, with the ongoing uncertainty over the war in the Middle East keeping some caution in global markets — including vegetable oils.
- Speculative fund traders are holding a large net long position in canola of just over 100,000 contracts, according to the latest Commitments of Traders report.
- The Canadian dollar was slightly firmer at midday but remains near four-month lows relative to its United States counterpart. The softer currency is supportive for crush margins, which have widened to record levels over the past month.
