WINNIPEG, April 23 (MarketsFarm) – Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) canola futures were lower on Friday morning, as the market corrected after several days of gains.
Part of that included traders who have been looking to roll out of their May contracts before they expire.
There were losses in Chicago soybeans and soymeal, while soyoil was narrowly mixed. European rapeseed was mixed as well, with gains in its May contract. Declines in Malaysian palm oil weighed on values.
Tight canola supplies and dryness across the Prairies underpinned prices, but were countered by the likelihood of more canola being planted in 2021. Statistics Canada is scheduled to release its first survey-based planting projections for this year on Tuesday morning.
