ICE canola ends near day's high as soyoil, crude oil climb
All figures in Canadian dollars unless noted
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Oct 31 (Reuters) -ICE canola futures closed higher on Thursday, following as Chicago soyoil futures BOv1 surged about 3% and crude oil CLc1 advanced.
* Most-traded ICE January canola futures RSF5 settled up $10.20 per metric ton at $650.40.
* November 2024 futures RSX4 ended up $11.30 at $635.70on first notice day for delivery.
* January canola values opened at around $640 and quickly rose to trade in a range of $647 and $652 for most of the day. In the last hour of trading prices fell to $645 before rebounding to end near the session high.
* The rebound came after a technical sell-off on Wednesday, triggered when the contract failed to break above resistance at $656, traders said. The January contract is finding support at $636.
* Canola drew support as Chicago Board of Trade December soyoil BOZ24 touched a three-month high and settled up 1.33 U.S. cents, or 3%, at 45.14 U.S. cents per pound. "It certainly wasn't independent," a trader said of canola's strength. With Malaysian palm futures not trading due to a holiday, "today was soyoil's chance to shine."
* The need for Canadian farmers to sell to raise cash to cover fall bills is winding down, with most crops now in store and nearby cash demands satisfied for many.
