ICE canola futures fell as China implemented tariffs on Canadian processed canola, with May futures down to $572.70 per metric ton. In contrast, other vegetable oils, such as soyoil and rapeseed, demonstrated gains. Overall, the Canadian dollar strengthened amid the market fluctuations.

On Thursday, ICE canola futures experienced a decline as China’s tariffs on Canadian processed canola products took effect. Specifically, May canola (RSK5) settled at $572.70 per metric ton, reflecting a decrease of $11.50. Similarly, July canola futures fell by $10.50 to $584.20, while November futures, indicative of the 2025 crop harvest, decreased to $588.80.

The implementation of China’s tariffs on Canadian canola oil and meal has dashed expectations for a timely resolution to avoid this detrimental impact on Canada’s second-largest meal market. In a contrasting trend, Chicago Board of Trade soyoil futures (BOv1) increased by 0.83%, buoyed by strength in the vegetable oil markets.

Moreover, Euronext rapeseed futures (COMc1) noted a rise for a third consecutive day, gaining 1.18%, whereas Malaysian palm oil futures (FCPO1!) rose by 0.55%, reflecting robust demand in the Chinese markets. Notably, during this period, the Canadian dollar (USDCAD) displayed signs of strengthening.

In summary, the recent implementation of China’s tariffs on Canadian processed canola has led to a notable decline in ICE canola futures. Despite the downward trend in canola prices, other vegetable oil markets, including soyoil, rapeseed, and palm oil, have shown resilience with upward movements. The strengthening of the Canadian dollar also provides a contrasting economic indicator in the current market environment.
