Analyst David Derwin of Ventum Financial says canola futures are driven by more than crude and vegetable oil prices, citing the Middle East war, upcoming US renewable fuel proposals from the EPA due March 27, and the CUSMA review. He sees canola potentially swinging between C$600 and C$800 per tonne and notes the early stage of the Canadian seeding season.
Policy announcements on US biofuel mandates and geopolitical crude moves could push canola and soyoil sharply in either direction, raising price risk for feed buyers.
