WINNIPEG, (Manitoba): ICE canola futures rose to contract highs on Monday on concerns about hot, dry Canadian weather stunting the crop’s growth.

Trading was more volatile than usual, with flurries of profit-taking dragging canola well off its intraday highs, a trader said.

Most-active November canola gained $8 to $771.60 per tonne. Its intraday high of $784.40 set a contract high.

November-January canola spread traded 3,638 times.

US old-crop soybean futures fell on profit-taking, while contracts for later delivery were supported by an outlook for hot, dry Midwest weather.

Euronext August rapeseed futures finished higher.
