WINNIPEG, Manitoba--The ICE Futures canola market bounced back on Wednesday despite mixed sentiment in comparable oils, due to a weaker Canadian dollar.
Chicago soyoil and European rapeseed went up, while Malaysian palm oil was down. Crude oil was also slightly lower, being pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar.
One analyst said Chicago soyoil's recent rise could potentially start a rally that would spill over into canola. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will release its monthly supply/demand estimates on Friday.
The Canadian dollar was down one-quarter of a U.S. cent compared to Tuesday's close.
