Winnipeg, MB, August 21, 2014
ICE Futures Canada canola contracts ended lower on Thursday, making new lows during the session and settling below support in the November contract.
The losses came despite a friendly Statistics Canada production report, as traders shrugged it off and shifted focus to ongoing expectations of record large US bean production, analysts said.
StatsCan pegged 2014/15 Canadian canola production at 13.91 million tonnes, which was at the low end of expectations and below the 17.96 million tonnes grown last year.
Some of the price weakness was linked to chart-based selling after the market tested new lows, with the stronger Canadian dollar also weighing on values.
Forecasts calling for rain across the Prairies this weekend, which could benefit some later seeded crops, added to the bearish tone.
However, worries about cold temperatures possibly damaging Canadian crops next week limited the declines.
About 14,354 contracts traded on Thursday, which compares with Wednesday when 17,500 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 7,642 of the trades.
Milling wheat, durum and barley futures were untraded and unchanged.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric ton.
