It is still a bit of an unknown as to the impact of the tariff on global values. Obviously peas into India will incur the duty and be marked down significantly but what of the other Asian markets. Will the excess simply flood Bangladesh with cheap peas destined for India, probably. I suppose the next question is do the Bangladesh care if values crash or will they too apply an import duty, what of Pakistan.

Both ICE canola futures and Paris rapeseed futures were sharply lower overnight. The ICE contract was back C$6.20 on the nearby while Paris saw a fall of E3.00 / tonne. The CAD / USD had a fair bit to do with the decline in Canadian values. With an Arctic blast predicted for the weekend the Canadians are not doing much selling and with many ports destined to freeze up they won’t be loading too many boats either so this downside is likely to be localised and limited. The comfortable S&D for palm oil will keep the vege oil market in check in the mid term though.
