Canola Swings Higher with Veg Oils

Canola futures were higher on Monday, getting spillover support from gains in other vegetable oils.  

Strength in the Chicago soy complex, along with more moderate gains in European rapeseed and in the off session for Malaysian palm oil combined to support the Canadian oilseed. Global crude oil prices were narrowly mixed, providing little direction to veg oils.   

There is the chance of rain across the Prairies this week, with rising temperatures expected to spark thunderstorms. 

November canola was up $11.60 at $866.70, January was $11.10 higher at $873.30, and March gained $10.60 to $879.90.

Video: Canada reaches tariff deal with China on canola, electric vehicles

Canada has reached a deal with China to increase the limit of imports of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in exchange for Beijing dropping tariffs on agricultural products, such as canola, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday.

The tariffs on canola are dropping to 15 per cent starting on March 1. In exchange for dropping duties on agricultural products, Carney is allowing 49,000 Chinese EVs to be exported to Canada.

Carney described it as a “preliminary but landmark” agreement to remove trade barriers and reduce tariffs, part of a broader strategic partnership with China.
