WINNIPEG, (Manitoba): ICE canola futures mostly rose on Tuesday on short covering in a session featuring mixed trading. Strength for the nearby January contract was due to tight Canadian canola supplies, while later months were under pressure from reduced demand from crushers, a trader said. January canola gained $2.90 at $1,024.70 per tonne. Some deferred months declined. January-March canola spread traded 3,651 times. US soybean futures eased as traders squared positions ahead of this week’s US Thanksgiving holiday.
