# ICE Weekly: More to canola price gains than Middle East war - Grainews

> Canola futures were influenced by liquidation of the nearby May contract and by questions about Chinese purchases. Canadian data showed 114,200 tonnes exported to China in February, and 2025-26 cumulative exports are less than a tenth of last year's pace. Traders are watching vessel lineups in Vancouver to gauge Chinese buying.

## Why it matters

Uncertain Chinese demand for Canadian canola limits export pull, so ending stocks and price direction depend on China's buying pace. Contract rolls add short-term volatility.
