DTN Closing Grain Comments    12/04 13:47
   Row Crops Green as Prices Test and Successfully Hold Above Nearby Support

   U.S. ag futures regained at least part of the midweek losses seen in
Wednesday's session. Corn, soybeans, and wheat markets all approached near-term
support which encouraged buying as traders are likely satisfied to keep prices
within their recent ranges for now, ahead of the USDA update early next week.
Outside markets were quiet for Thursday, with mostly higher energy markets,
while Treasury yields were mixed to higher which offered support to the U.S.
Dollar Index which has fallen in eight of the past ten sessions.
