By Dave Sims, Commodity News Service Canada

WINNIPEG, November 21 (CNS) – Canola contracts on the ICE Futures Canada platform were slightly lower at 10:50 CST on Tuesday, weighed down by a higher Canadian dollar.

Canola is facing stiff technical resistance, according to a trader in Winnipeg.

India’s declaration that it would impose tariffs on vegetable oil imports continues to cast a bearish tone over the market.

Demand continues to be steady, according to the trader.

About 8,200 canola contracts had traded as of 10:50 CST.
