ICE Close: Canola Adds to Previous Day’s Gains

Canola futures closed higher for the second straight day on Wednesday, adding to the gains from the previous day. 

The canola market was closed on Monday to mark Remembrance Day when the Chicago soy complex shot higher on Brazilian weather problems. Soybeans and soymeal were lower today, although soyoil managed gains.  

After posting heavy losses in September and October, the canola market is recovering alongside other vegetable oils, including palm and soy. 

January canola was up $5.60 at $719.50, March was $4.80 higher at $725.10, and May gained $5.10 to $728.50.

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
