Glacier Farm Media MarketsFarm – Intercontinental Exchange canola futures incurred small losses on Wednesday morning, due to a lack of support from comparable oils.

Chicago soyoil was virtually unchanged, but there were gains in soybeans and soymeal. European rapeseed was to the downside, but Malaysian palm oil closed higher. Modest upticks in global crude oil prices lent support to the vegetable oils.

Canola crush margins have seen the old crop positions find some stability at C$175 to C$177 per tonne above the futures.
