Winnipeg, MB, Sept. 19, 2014
ICE Futures Canada canola contracts settled at fresh contract lows for the second straight session, dropping below the psychological C$400 mark in the most active November contract.
Speculators were noted sellers, as the big declines triggered a round of long liquidation from traders who had been betting that prices would rise. Other speculators were adding to the already large net short position, said participants.
Losses in the CBOT soy complex accounted for some of the spillover selling pressure in canola, as the US market braces itself for a record large soybean crop.
Improving weather conditions across Western Canada and expectations for mounting harvest pressure also weighed on canola.
However, a lack of significant farmer selling did help temper the declines. Scale-down end user demand and a weaker tone in the Canadian dollar were also somewhat supportive.
About 59,967 canola contracts were traded on Friday, which compares with Thursday when 30,181 contracts changed hands. Spreading was a feature, accounting for the majority of the volumes.
Milling wheat, durum, and barley were all untraded.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric ton.
