WINNIPEG, Manitoba--ICE canola futures were stronger Wednesday morning, seeing follow-through buying interest after Tuesday's correction off nearby lows.

Oversold price signals on the charts contributed to the gains, with end user bargain hunting also thought to be supportive.

Improving cash basis levels in the countryside suggest steady commercial buying in the face of reluctant farmer selling, said an analyst.

Chicago soyoil futures were higher in early activity, providing spillover support. European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil futures were also stronger, while Chicago soybeans held near unchanged.

The ongoing lack of export demand from China kept a lid on the upside.

The Canadian dollar was holding steady in early activity.

The Bank of Canada left its key overnight rate unchanged at 2.25 per cent.

About 24,400 canola contracts had traded as of 8:49 CST.
