By Dave Sims, Commodity News Service Canada

WINNIPEG, April 6 (CNS) – Canola contracts on the ICE Futures Canada platform were lower on Friday, pressured by strength in the Canadian dollar.

Canola is starting to look somewhat pricey relative to U.S. soybeans.

However, recent sales of canola to China helped offset some of the losses.

Gains in Malaysian palm oil were supportive for canola.
