Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm – Intercontinental Exchange canola futures stepped back Tuesday morning, pressured lower by losses in Chicago soyoil and Malaysian palm oil.

The declines were tempered by gains in Chicago soybeans and MATIF rapeseed. Spillover from increases in crude oil underpinned the vegetable oils.

The most-traded January contract slipped below its 20-day moving average.

Canola crush margins climbed higher, with the November position up by nearly C$6 at more than C$218 per tonne above the futures.
