ICE Grain/Oilseed Review : Canola Mixed, Supply and Weather Featured

WINNIPEG--The ICE Futures canola market was mixed at Friday's close, with gains in the most-active nearby contracts and losses in the more deferred months.

Tightening supply projections and the need to ration demand remained supportive. Crop prospects continue to deteriorate across the Prairies, with hot temperatures and little moisture in the forecasts over the next week.

Gains in Chicago Board of Trade soyoil and a softer tone in the Canadian dollar also underpinned canola, although soybeans were weaker on the day.

About 14,528 canola contracts traded on Friday, which compares with Thursday when 19,921 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 5,466 of the contracts traded.

Settlement prices are in Canadian dollars per metric ton.
