(All figures in Canadian dollars unless noted)

April 25 (Reuters) - ICE canola futures dropped on Thursday, pressured by technical selling.

• July canola fell below its 100-day moving average, triggering the technical selling, a trader said. He added that the market is torn between dry Canadian conditions that underpin prices and poor export demand that weighs on sentiment.

• Most active July canola shed $2.50 to settle at $636.90 per metric ton.

• July-November canola spread, the most active inter-month spread, traded 10,458 times. • Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures also dipped and were weighed down by weakness in the soyoil market and ongoing pressure from cheaper Brazilian soybeans.

• Euronext August rapeseed futures declined.
