ICE Canola Eases As Farmer Deliveries Pick-Up
Winnipeg, January 9/13 CNS, Jan 09, 2013 (Commodity News Service Canada, Inc. via COMTEX) --
Canola contracts on the ICE
Futures Canada platform were trading at weaker price levels at
10:39 CST Wednesday morning. Activity in canola was described as
cautious with few participants willing to take on large positions
ahead of Friday's updated supply/demand tables from the USDA,
market watchers said.
Some of the weakness in canola was associated with a pick up
in farmer deliveries of canola into the cash pipeline, brokers
said. They added that the premiums being offered by the grain
companies were starting to have the desired effect of increased
movement.
The declines seen in CBOT soybean futures overnight added to
the bearish sentiment in canola, traders said.
A drop off in export demand for canola also contributed to
the price weakness in the commodity. Overbought price sentiment
and light chart based liquidation orders were also evident and
helped to push canola values down, brokers said.
Underlying support in canola came from light domestic
crusher demand and continued concerns about tight ending stocks
of the commodity. Price firmness in Malaysian palm oil and
European rapeseed futures overnight also provided some underlying
support.
As of 10:39 CST, about 5,582 canola contracts had traded. Of
those contracts, spreading accounted for 1,614 of the trades.
Milling wheat, durum and barley contracts were unchanged and
untraded.
