January canola futures settled at $515.50/mt on November 9, down $5.30, after stalling at a high of $522.50. Speculative profit-taking and investor selling drove the decline, while commercial buying appeared in the January/March spread.
Canola futures are pressured by speculative liquidation and Canadian dollar strength, which lowers the value of Canadian-origin canola meal and oil for feed buyers. The move is routine trading behaviour rather than a change in supply or demand.
