Glacier FarmMedia — ICE canola futures were weaker Wednesday morning, backing away from nearby highs as speculators booked profits.
Losses in the Chicago soy complex accounted for some spillover selling pressure, with European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil futures also lower on the day.
A lack of significant export demand contributed to the declines, as China remains absent from the canola market.
However, wide crush margins kept domestic processors showing some demand on a scale-down basis, while farmers were also thought to be reluctant sellers on any moves lower.
