# ICE Closing Review: Canola supported by comparable oils | The Western Producer

> Canola futures on ICE rose on March 30 as crude oil climbed US$1.70 to US$2.70 per barrel after Trump threatened to destroy Iranian energy infrastructure unless the Strait of Hormuz reopened. May canola tested C$740 per tonne resistance. Canadian exports fell to 195,000 tonnes in the week to March 22, and dry weather in Indonesia and Malaysia is expected to trim palm oil output.

## Why it matters

Crude-driven vegetable oil strength and expected palm oil tightening support canola prices, while weak export shipments add pressure on the export side. Buyers should expect continued energy-linked volatility.
