Winnipeg, MB, July 31, 2014
ICE Futures Canada canola contracts ended slightly lower after a day of quiet, choppy activity on Thursday.
Traders were being cautious ahead of the long weekend, as Canadian markets will be closed for a Civic Holiday on Monday, August 4. They were also awaiting news about 2014/15 (Aug/Jul) Canadian canola prospects from CWB's (formerly known as the Canadian Wheat Board) crop tour later Thursday afternoon.
Ongoing expectations of a very large 2014/15 US soybean crop were bearish for canola prices, analysts said.
Improving weather for crop development in many parts of Western Canada this week also weighed on prices.
However, recent softness in the Canadian dollar, slow farmer selling and ongoing worries about production problems in Western Canada helped to underpin prices.
About 10,437 contracts traded on Thursday, which compares with Wednesday, when 15,490 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 5,004 of the trades.
Milling wheat, durum and barley futures were untraded and unchanged.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric ton.
