Glacier FarmMedia — Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange rallied again on Friday morning, owing to higher prices for comparable oils and a weaker Canadian dollar.
Malaysian palm oil was lower, but Chicago soyoil and European rapeseed were up. Crude oil gained US$1 per barrel due to supply concerns out of Iran and ongoing tensions between the United States and Venezuela.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will visit China from Jan. 13 to 17 to discuss a number of matters including trade and agriculture. Last year, China imposed a 100 per cent tariff on Canadian canola oil and a 75.8 per cent tariff on Canadian canola seed.
