ICE Review: Canola Weakens Wednesday
WINNIPEG, Manitoba--The ICE Futures canola market was weaker on Wednesday, with profit-taking after recent gains behind some of the selling pressure.
Widespread Prairie rains contributed to the declines as drought concerns eased. Increased farmer selling, a lack of significant export demand and expectations for large ending stocks also weighed on values.
Losses in the Chicago soy complex were also bearish for canola, although European rapeseed futures held onto small gains.
There were an estimated 54,616 contracts traded on Wednesday, which compares with Tuesday when 73,055 contracts traded.
Spreading accounted for 24,256 of the contracts traded.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne.
