Canada Canola steady; anticipation of new stock data

The ICE Futures Canada canola market ended mixed. The front-month July contract was boosted by gains in soyoil while the more deferred contracts were pressured by strength in the Canadian dollar. Traders were positioning themselves ahead of North American stocks data. Spring seeding is in full bloom and most farmers are too busy to do much selling, which lifted the market. As well, some parts of Alberta are currently too wet to seed. Most analysts expected U.S. ending stocks to be around around the 2.18 billion bushel mark, which would be slightly bearish for prices.
