Glacier FarmMedia — ICE Futures canola contracts were weaker at midday Thursday, backing away from overnight gains.
- The March contract touched fresh seven-week highs in overnight trade but dipped below unchanged as the North American day session progressed. The return below C$650 per tonne was bearish from a technical standpoint, said an analyst.
- Chicago soyoil also retreated from earlier advances, accounting for some of the spillover selling pressure in the Canadian oilseed.
- Gains in crude oil remained supportive for the grains and oilseeds.
- Optimism over increased export movement to China continued to underpin the canola market, although old crop supplies remain burdensome.
- The Canadian dollar was firm at midday, trading just below 16-month highs relative to its United States counterpart. The strong currency cuts into crush margins and makes exports less attractive for international buyers.
