EU wheat ends higher on Chicago rally, rapeseed pares losses
PARIS, Sept 3 (Reuters) -Euronext wheat rose on Tuesday to a new two-week peak, tracking a rally in Chicago grains, while rapeseed recouped most of its earlier losses as the market digested news of a Chinese probe into imports from Canada.
December milling wheat BL2Z4, the most-active position on the Paris-based Euronext, settled 1% up at 219.25 euros ($242.03) per metric ton.
The contract reached its highest since Aug. 15 at 220.75 euros, recovering from an earlier fall to surpass a previous two-week top from Monday.
Trading was volatile as participants reacted to weather and export developments, while U.S. markets started their week after Monday's Labor Day holiday.

November rapeseed COMX4 on Euronext settled 0.1% down at 469.75 euros a ton.
Rapeseed had dropped over 4% as Canadian canola RSX4 - a similar variety of oilseed - tumbled more than 7% to its daily trading limit after China announced an anti-dumping investigation into canola imports from Canada.
"The market panicked this morning over Canada but I think it's bearish for Canadian crop while bullish for other origins," a futures dealer said.
The move by Beijing, seen as a riposte to Ottawa's decision to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, contributed to the rally in Chicago soybeans, traders said.
Wheat markets was still being capped by stiff export competition from Black Sea supplies.
Russian 12.5% protein wheat was on quoted at about $215-$216 a ton FOB for September/October Black Sea shipment. Russian 11.5% protein wheat was quoted at about $208-$211 a ton FOB, Ukrainian 11.5% was at around $209-$216 a ton FOB.
"Some in the market are wondering just how sustainable the recent Euronext strength is in view that Russian prices are not following Euronext up and that crop news, especially from Australia, is showing an improving picture,” a German trader said.
"Export demand is still looking weak and there are expectations that Russian wheat export shipments in September will be even higher than August at prices the EU has little chances against."
European Union common wheat exports since the start of the season have reached 4.38 million tons, down 23% from a year ago, though figures for France remain incomplete, the European Commission said.
