WINNIPEG, Manitoba--The ICE Futures canola market tumbled and tested new support levels on Friday as comparable oils provided negative sentiment.
Chicago soyoil and European rapeseed were lower. Meanwhile, crude oil was down partially due to demand concerns. Malaysian palm oil was higher.
The Canadian Grain Commission reported 152,100 tons of canola exports during the week ended June 9, down from 238,400 tons the week before. Cumulative exports this year total 5.716 million tons, down from 7.359 million last year.
At mid-afternoon, the Canadian dollar was steady from Thursday's close.
There were 59,889 canola contracts traded on Friday, which compares with Thursday when 64,580 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 35,596 of the contracts traded.
