ICE Canada Morning Comment: Canola Pulling Back
WINNIPEG, Manitoba--Intercontinental Exchange canola futures were lower Friday morning, following the Chicago soy complex to the downside.
Small losses in crude oil weighed on the vegetable oils, but European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil were higher.
As fall officially starts Sunday, Prairie temperatures are to turn cooler during the weekend. Rain is forecast today for parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta, while much of southern Manitoba recovers from recent heavy rains.
The November canola contract remained slightly below its 20-day moving average and well back of its other major resistance levels.
Canola crush margins swung upward, with the November positions rising to C$123 to C$132 per tonne above the futures.
The Canadian Grain Commission reported for the week ended Sept. 15, that producer deliveries of canola of 425,100 tonnes increased 38% from the previous week. Canola exports jumped by almost 79% to 310,300 tonnes and domestic usage improved nearly 23% to 207,900 tonnes.
The Canadian dollar was virtually unchanged Friday morning with the loonie at 73.72 U.S. cents compared with Thursday's close of 73.73.
About 7,400 contracts were traded by 9:36 a.m. ET and prices in Canadian dollars per metric tonne were:
