WINNIPEG, Manitoba--The ICE Futures canola market resumed its recent rally to go with mixed sentiment in vegetable oils and a weaker Canadian dollar.
Chicago soyoil was higher coming out of Independence Day, while European rapeseed also made gains. Crude oil was lower despite smaller U.S. stockpiles and rising global equity markets. Malaysian palm oil was also lower.
At mid-afternoon, the Canadian dollar was down more than one-tenth of a U.S. cent compared to Thursday's close.
There were 49,219 canola contracts traded on Friday, which compares with Thursday when 29,036 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 22,246 of the contracts traded.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric ton.
