WINNIPEG, Manitoba--The ICE Futures canola market continued its rally on Tuesday amidst mostly positive sentiment in comparable oils.

Crude oil was trading higher due to speculation over possible interest rate cuts in the United States. Chicago soyoil and Malaysian palm oil were also stronger. However, European rapeseed was lower.

At mid-afternoon, the Canadian dollar was up three-tenths of a U.S. cent compared to Monday's close.

There were 61,170 canola contracts traded on Tuesday, which compares with Monday when 54,619 contracts changed hands.

Spreading accounted for 29,698 of the contracts traded.

Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne.
