ICE Midday: Canola Down as Comparable Oils Rise

Dow Jones
May 15

WINNIPEG -- Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange were lower on Friday despite rising comparable oils.

The meeting between United States Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping produced no progress towards the end of the Iran war and the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz. As a result, crude oil prices were up US$1.50 to US$3.30 per barrel.

An analyst said weakness in the Chicago soy complex was putting pressure on canola, as well as speculative funds exiting canola ahead of the May long weekend. He added there is still support from a weaker Canadian dollar and delayed seeding across the Prairies.

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

The Canadian dollar was down two-tenths of a U.S. cent compared to Thursday's close.

There will be no canola trading on Monday due to Victoria Day.

About 32,600 canola contracts have traded at 10:20 CDT. Prices in Canadian dollars per metric tonne:
