WINNIPEG, Jan. 10 (MarketsFarm) – Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) canola futures continued lower at mid-session Tuesday, feeling pressure from comparable oils. However, prices remained rangebound.
Losses in Chicago soyoil, European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil were putting pressure on canola. Some support came from upticks in Chicago soybeans and soymeal.
Global crude oil prices were vacillating either side of steady, which provided little direction to the vegetable oils.
Canola crush margins continued to be quite strong, underpinning the oilseed.
The Canadian dollar was lower on Tuesday, with the loonie slipping to 74.47 U.S. cents, compared to Monday’s close of 74.76.
Approximately 19,400 canola contracts were traded as of 10:24 CST.
