May 1 (Reuters) - ICE canola futures surged on Thursday on the anticipated tightening of old-crop canola stocks and rebounding soy oil futures, traders said.
July canola RSN5 settled up $4.20 at $696.60 per metric ton. November RSX5 settled up $2.4 to $652.50.
Steady demand for Canadian canola has helped boost futures, with higher soyoil and crude oil prices also lending support to canola futures.
U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney are expected to meet within the next week.
Tensions between the U.S. and Canada had little impact on canola futures on Thursday, traders said.
Chicago Board of Trade soyoil futures BOv1 finished up 0.73 cent at 49.7 cents per pound.
