WINNIPEG, Dec. 1 (MarketsFarm) – Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) canola futures lower on Thursday morning, as sharp declines in Chicago soyoil weighed on values.
Additional pressure came from losses in Chicago soybeans, but soymeal was higher. European rapeseed and most Malaysian palm oil contracts were also to the downside. Support from upticks in global crude oil prices spilled over into vegetable oils.
Statistics Canada (StatCan) is set to release its production report for 2022 and the trade is divided as to where the federal agency could peg canola. While the average trade guess has called for a small alteration from StatCan’s 19.1 million tonnes, trade estimates are 18.6 million to 19.7 million. Projections for all wheat came to 33.8 million to 35.5 million tonnes, compared to StatCan’s 34.7 million.
