WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- The ICE Futures canola market traded in negative territory on Tuesday despite receiving some support from comparable oils.
Relatively favorable Prairie weather conditions and large old crop supplies weighed on values, with bearish technical signals contributing to the declines as the November contract slipped below its 50-day moving average.
Chicago soyoil was steady, while European rapeseed was mostly higher. Malaysian palm oil made gains in the nearby contracts, while crude oil was also positive.
At mid-afternoon, the Canadian dollar was up less than one-tenth of a U.S. cent compared to Monday's close.
There were 59,208 canola contracts traded on Tuesday, which compares with Monday when 53,252 contracts changed hands.
Spreading accounted for 39,038 of the contracts traded.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne.
