ICE Canada Morning Comment: Canola slips lower

Canadian oilseed forfeits overnight gains

By Glen Hallick

Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange saw overnight gains fade into small losses on Tuesday morning, pulled down by weaker vegetable oils.

There were losses in Chicago soyoil, Malaysian palm oil and European rapeseed, as declines in crude oil weighed on the veg oils. Canola garnered some support from upticks in Chicago soybeans and soymeal.

The market contended with tight old crop stocks just as the Prairie harvest begins to pick up steam with favourable weather conditions.
