Canola Markets

[ado089]

Where are we headed next with canola? I've felt this market has been dead in the water for close to a month now but CAD is under-performing at a spectacular rate off setting most of the weakness. It also looks like may last weeks option expiry caused some short covering that has abated this week. The inversion is unwinding a bit too. Everything seems to want to meet up at the 450 mark. Thoughts?

I'll add in the colapse of soybean oil prices to under 30 cents. I have been looking for soybean to hold a range in the 32 to 34 cent range but broke support this week.

I'll also highlight the COPA crush margin and the ICE futures Canada. COPA uses US dollars/doesn't do the conversion to soyoil/soymeal. ICE does.

I'll add in that meal remains the everyready. Not over $400 but still holding the trading range.

Canola market currently characterized by fund long position of about 40,000 (some of it spread against short bean position) and farmer selling. Some export business. Canola market appears sleepy, like the oil market last year before the collapse. Farmers shouldn't get lulled into thinking these markets last. Fund liquidation could be catalyst.

Our friends at the elevator know what it takes to get it in the door. Price dip now to narrow June July basis. Lock basis. Wait for spring weather rally. Sell.

For what it is worth, I won't be betting on a big weather rally this spring. Too much South American soybean production. Potentially too many US soybean acres. Soybean/vegetable oil market?

At this point in time I agree with Charlie
At the end of the day canola has a top of about $10.25 , the $10 mark seems to be all they need to pay to open the bins . It has a higher chance of being below 10 then above for the foreseeable future .

[furrowtickler]

Spring road ban time might nab 10.50 if you can haul .

The trend is your friend....until it changes. I'm going to keep on the wagon for a while yet. Have my sell orders in and waiting.
