Winnipeg, MB, Sept. 18, 2014
ICE Futures Canada canola contracts settled at fresh contract lows on Thursday, as declines in the CBOT soy complex spilled over to weigh on values.
The most active November contract dropped below its previous low of C$409.00 per tonne in early activity, which triggered additional sell-stops, said participants.
The declines in canola were also tied to mounting Canadian harvest pressure and increased farmer hedges, as weather conditions improve across the Prairies, said traders.
A firmer tone in the Canadian dollar, which was up by over half a cent relative to its US counterpart, contributed to the declines in canola.
Scale down end user demand did provide some underlying support. There was also still enough uncertainty over the size and quality of the canola crop to keep some weather premiums in the futures, according to participants.
About 30,181 canola contracts were traded on Thursday, which compares with Wednesday when 16,679 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 24,660 of the contracts traded.
Milling wheat, durum, and barley were all untraded.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric ton.
