ICE Review : Canola Nears Contract Highs

WINNIPEG--The ICE Futures canola market was stronger on Monday, boosted by spillover from gains in Chicago Board of Trade soyoil and Malaysian palm oil.

Bullish chart signals contributed to the gains, as prices neared major upside resistance.

Tight supplies remained another supportive influence, although demand is already being rationed at current price levels, according to participants. Recent strength in the Canadian dollar also weighed on values.

About 25,547 canola contracts traded on Monday, which compares with Friday when 31,715 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 21,796 of the contracts traded.

Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric ton.
