WINNIPEG--ICE Futures Canada canola contracts closed weaker Friday, undermined by profit-taking ahead of the weekend.
Spillover pressure from outside commodity markets, including Chicago soyoil and wheat futures, was also bearish, brokers said.
A recent pickup in farmer selling, the large Canadian supply situation, the stronger Canadian currency and expectations that Canadian canola acreage will increase this spring added to the bearish tone.
However, continued ideas that canola is undervalued compared to other oilseeds limited the losses, as did steady commercial demand.
Optimism that logistics problems in Western Canada are improving kept a firm floor under the market.
About 16,048 canola contracts traded Friday, compared with Thursday when 14,517 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for almost all of the trade activity.
Milling wheat, durum and barley futures were untraded following price revisions after the close on Thursday.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric ton.
