WINNIPEG, September 11 – Canola contracts on the ICE Futures Canada platform were lower at 10:25 CDT Friday, following losses in the US soy complex.

Traders were also positioning themselves ahead of the release of the USDA’s monthly supply/demand report. That is expected to be made public at 11:00 CDT.
