WINNIPEG, Manitoba--After two straight days of losses, the ICE Futures canola market regained positive momentum Wednesday morning thanks to strength in comparable oils.

While Chicago soyoil was lower, European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil were mostly higher early Wednesday.

Crude oil gained more than US$1 per barrel as optimism for a resurgence of Chinese demand outweighed a jump in U.S. crude oil inventories.

The Canadian dollar was steady compared to Tuesday's close.
