ICE Closing Review: Canola in positive territory, crude oil drops

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Published: 4 hours ago

Glacier FarmMedia – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange continued to rise on Tuesday on the strength of vegetable oils.

Crude oil prices declined late in trading after an unconfirmed media report said Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was open to ending the Middle East war provided there are guarantees. Crude oil lost between US$1 to US$3 per barrel by the afternoon.

Chicago soyoil, European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil were higher.

An analyst said that canola is leaning bullish, according to the technicals for Chicago soyoil. Another analyst said he’s monitoring any demand disruption for vegetable oils, especially for the Asian markets. He said there’s the potential for a lack of diesel along with the possibility of fuel becoming too expensive.
