Glacier Farm Media | MarketsFarm – Intercontinental Exchange canola futures was lower on Tuesday morning, following Chicago soybeans and soyoil to the downside.

The losses were tempered by gains in Malaysian palm oil, European rapeseed and Chicago soymeal. In turn, modest declines in crude oil limited the upside in the vegetable oils.

Rains across the Prairies this week are to bring much-needed relief to persistent dry conditions in some areas.

The gap between the 20- and 50-day moving averages for the November canola contract continued to converge, at about C$1.30 apart. However, the November remained well above the 100- and 200-day averages.
