WINNIPEG, July 8 (MarketsFarm) – Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) canola futures stepped back on Friday morning as comparable oils lost strength.
The Chicago soy complex saw declines in the nearby August contracts for soybeans and soymeal, while that for soyoil was slightly higher. European rapeseed eased lower while the off session of Malaysian palm oil bumped up a little. Global crude oil prices were on the rise providing spillover support to vegetable oils.
With the United States Department of Agriculture set to release its monthly supply and demand estimates on Tuesday, the markets will be positioning ahead of the report with spillover affecting canola.
