Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm – Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange continued to pull back on Friday morning, getting pressure from losses in comparable oils and yesterday’s Statistics Canada report.
The Chicago soy complex, European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil were to the downside, with declines in crude oil weighing on vegetable oil values.
StatCan projected the 2025-26 canola crop to come in at 19.94 million tonnes, higher than the five-year average of 18.25 million.
The November contract stepped further below its major moving averages. Crush margins edged up, with the November positions rising by almost C$2 at C$187.50 to C$196.40 per tonne above the futures.
