Winnipeg, MB, Aug. 14, 2014
ICE Futures Canada canola were weaker on Thursday, settling just above major support as losses in outside vegetable oil markets weighed on prices.
Malaysian palm oil futures hit their weakest levels in five years in overnight activity, and CBOT soyoil futures also posted large losses.
CBOT soybeans were higher, which is normally supportive for canola, but the Canadian crop is more closely linked to the oil part of the bean complex and the losses in the outside vegetable oil markets were bearish.
Chart-based fund selling contributed to the losses in canola, according to participants. However, the November contract did find some support after hitting the psychological C$430 per tonne level earlier in the day and held range-bound overall.
A lack of farmer selling given the continued uncertainty over the size of the Canadian crop also helped limit the losses, with dryness in some parts of the Prairies raising some concerns, said traders.
About 18,784 canola contracts were traded on Thursday, which compares with Wednesday when 15,558 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 7,624 of the contracts traded.
Milling wheat, durum, and barley were all untraded.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric ton.
