Intercontinental Exchange canola futures were mostly lower late Monday morning, but coming away from larger declines earlier in the session.
Brazil election
An analyst said the outcome of the Brazil presidential election is weighing on the Chicago soy complex. The analyst said with the re-election of President Lula resulted in the Brazilian real dropping about 10 per cent in value this morning, making that country’s soybeans more appealing.
Canola harvest
The analyst also said harvest pressure was still being felt in the canola market.
The Alberta crop report placed the canola harvest at 86 per cent complete. Although that’s up 12 points from the previous report, canola is least harvest crop in the province.
Comparable oils
Efforts to get the United States and Iran back to the negotiating table saw crude oil values drop. That pressure weighed on canola, as well as Chicago soy and Malaysian palm oil. European rapeseed was steady to higher.
Weather
Prairie skies are to be clear on Monday, with temperatures mostly in the mid to high single digits Celsius. Depending on the location, rain or snow is expected across the region on Tuesday.

Statistics Canada reported September canola deliveries at 2.75 million tonnes compared to 1.92 million a year ago.
