WINNIPEG, July 27 (MarketsFarm) – Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) canola futures were weaker on Thursday morning, following declines in Chicago soyoil, European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil.

There was some support for canola coming from gains in Chicago soybeans and soymeal.

Global crude oil prices were moderately higher, with spillover going into vegetable oils.

The Canadian dollar is on the upswing Thursday morning, as the loonie rises to 75.90 U.S. cents compared to Wednesday’s close of 75.64.

About 7,150 contracts had traded as of 8:35 CDT.
