ICE Close: Canola Up with US Markets

Canola futures ended the week higher, gaining with the rally in US crop markets. 

Most of the strength in the US markets was linked to a Ukraine attack on a Russian port that handles grain, raising fears about the potential for tightening global supplies as the two sides strike port and grain facilities.
