Canola Market Outlook: June 13, 2022
Weekly canola market outlook provided by Marlene Boersch of Mercantile Consulting Venture Inc.
Key Points for the Week:
Soybeans – CBOT soybeans hit contract highs on both old and new crop, but surprisingly faded following the USDA report.
Crushers continue to compete for soybeans given still very profitable margins.
We think the corn/soybean ratio needs to be about 2.30 to encourage growers to sell soybeans.
Canola – Total canola disappearance during the first 44 weeks of the crop year amounted to 12.5 million MT compared to 18.7 million MT last YTD.
Vegetable oil markets have weakened after Indonesia started pushing palm oil exports, with a target of at least 1 million MT of crude palm oil and derivatives.
We expect stocks to stay tight through to November, then prices will ease either via futures or basis.
