The ICE Futures canola market was posting large losses Thursday morning, seeing a continuation of Wednesday's selloff as speculators booked profits on their large long positions.
Losses in the Chicago Board of Trade soy complex and strength in the Canadian dollar contributed to the weakness in canola. Malaysian palm oil and Europe rapeseed futures were also lower.
Tight Canadian supplies remain a supportive influence in the background, but demand has already been curtailed considerably leaving the market open to a correction.
About 11,200 canola contracts had traded as of 9:49 ET.
