Winnipeg, MB, Dec. 22, 2014
ICE Futures Canada canola contracts were higher on Monday, as chart-based buying and spillover from the advances in CBOT soybeans provided support.
Fund traders adding to long positions were a feature, as prices tested nearby resistance.
Weakness in the Canadian dollar contributed to the gains in canola. The Canadian currency traded below 86 US cents, which was supportive for crush margins and also makes exports more attractive.
On the other side, the strength in canola was thought to be encouraging some light farmer selling which did temper the advances. However, most producers remain on the sidelines for the time being as they await the New Year.
The relatively favourable South American crop prospects, large US soybean stocks, and continued weakness in crude oil put some pressure on canola values as well.
About 25,362 canola contracts were traded on Monday, which compares with Friday when 20,770 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 13,378 of the contracts traded.
Milling wheat, durum, and barley were all untraded.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric ton.
