WINNIPEG, Manitoba--The ICE Futures canola market extended Tuesday's losses due to mixed sentiment in comparable oils and a stronger loonie.
While Chicago soyoil was slightly higher, Malaysian palm oil was lower and European rapeseed was mixed. Crude oil made small gains, correcting itself after a downward slide.
The Canadian dollar was up nearly two-tenths of a United States cent compared to Tuesday's close. The U.S. Federal Reserve will announce its latest key interest rate decision later today, with many expecting the central bank to leave the rate unchanged.
Nearly 11,800 contracts were traded.
