WINNIPEG, Manitoba--Intercontinental Exchange canola futures were lower Thursday morning, lacking sufficient support from most comparable oils.
Losses in Chicago soyoil, European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil put pressure on the Canadian oilseed. Meanwhile, Chicago soybeans were slightly lower and soymeal was mixed. Gains in global crude oil prices lent support to vegetable oils.
Canola crush margins increased, with the November-December position more than C$235 per metric ton above futures.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is set to publish its monthly supply and demand estimates at 11 a.m. CDT. Any notable shifts in the Chicago soy complex would likely spill over into canola.
The Canadian dollar was slightly higher Thursday morning, with the loonie at 72.57 U.S. cents, compared with Wednesday's close of 72.48.
About 7,450 contracts had traded as of 9:43 a.m. EST.
