ICE canola hits two-week low on vegoils decline
All figures in Canadian dollars unless noted
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Nov 5 (Reuters) -ICE canola futures settled lower on Tuesday as sliding vegoils prices and higher crude oil kept canola in the middle.
* Most-traded January canola futures RSF5 settled down $13.20 at $631.80 per metric ton and touched a two-week low.
* Canola has been hitting upside resistance at $650 per ton and now appears to be heading down towards the $626 area, said technical analyst Trent Klarenbach of Klarenbach Research.
* Canola's decline left it straddling moves in crude oil and vegoils markets, weaker than crude but relatively stronger than competing vegoils.
* Canola values are tightly connected to the relative values of vegoils, such as soyoil, and to energy commodities like crude oil. Canola oil can be used for both food products and in biofuels.
* Chicago Board of Trade soyoil futures BOcv1 fell as did Malaysian palm oil, with January palm futures FCPOc3 down 1.76%.
* Brent crude oil futures LCOc1 rose 0.6% to settle at $75.53 per barrel.
