WINNIPEG, Manitoba--Canola futures on the Intercontinental Exchange continued their up-and-down price movement and closed lower on Wednesday with comparable oils also showing negative sentiment.

Despite today's losses, an analyst said canola still has plenty of support from high crude oil prices and rising grain and oilseed prices.

Crude oil was lower as United States President Donald Trump began his visit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. OPEC announced it trimmed its global 2026 demand forecast. Chicago soyoil and Malaysian palm oil were lower, while European rapeseed made gains.

At mid-afternoon, the Canadian dollar was steady compared to Tuesday's close.

There were 55,415 canola contracts traded on Wednesday, compared to Tuesday when 46,813 contracts changed hands. Spreads accounted for 31,060 contracts in today's trade.

Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric tonne.
