WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange were down on Friday, with the January contract falling to its lowest level in three months, below its major moving averages and its psychological price level of C$620 per tonne.
Statistics Canada released its principal field crop estimates on Thursday, projecting this year's canola crop at a record 21.8 million tonnes. However, an analyst said that figure may be understated.
Chicago soyoil was down while European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil were higher. Crude oil also moved up as Russia-Ukraine peace talks stalled and tensions grew between the United States and Venezuela.
At mid-afternoon, the Canadian dollar was up six-tenths of a U.S. cent compared to Thursday's close.
There were 88,468 canola contracts traded on Friday, compared to Thursday when 93,401 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 63,634 of the contracts traded.
Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne.
