Canola Starts the Week in the Green

Canola futures started the week on a higher note, boosted by expectations of lower canola yields in some regions in Alberta due to wet growing conditions.
 
Strength in vegetable oils also supported canola prices. Malaysian palm oil gained strength from reports of lower stocks at the end of July while Chicago soyoil was higher based on expectations of continued export demand from China.
 
Strength in the Canadian dollar limited the upside for canola.
 
November canola gained $2.10 to $486.90, January was $2.60 higher at $493.90 and March added $3.60 to $499.30.

Video: USDA Feb Crop Report a WIN for Soybeans + 1 Year Trade Truce Extension


USDA took Trumps comments that China would buy more U.S. soybeans seriously and headline news that the U.S./China trade truce would be extended when Trump/Xi meet in the first week of April was a BIG WIN for soybeans this week! 2026 “Mini” U.S. ethanol boom thanks to 45Z + China’s ban of phosphates from Feb. – August of 2026 will not help lower fertilizer prices anytime soon! 30 mmt of Chinese corn harvest is of poor quality and maybe a technical breakout in wheat futures.

*Apologies! Where we talk about the latest CFTC update as of 10th Feb 2026, managed money funds covered their net short position in canola to the tune of +42,746 week-on-week to flip to net long 145 contracts and not (as we mistakenly said) +90,009 wk/wk to 47,408.
