WINNIPEG, January 15 – ICE Canada canola contracts were lower Friday morning, following weakness in the US soy complex.

Weakness in European rapeseed futures, crude oil and Chinese financial markets also contributed to the bearish tone, an analyst said.

The improving state of the South American soy crop also helped to undermine the market.

About 3,500 canola contracts had traded as of 8:48 CST.

Milling wheat, durum, and barley futures were all untraded and unchanged.
