This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, December 4th. The grain market saw improvement on Friday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey ...

Virginia McGathey ... "The market tested its lows twice now and it really got a big boost, and for the last three days the market was really surging, helping it very much and it really brought along wheat. Wheat, we thought, was perhaps going to be moving even lower, but it has firmed up for sure. The technical buying coming in really added to the up-trend sentiment. So, all the technicals are in play here. Fundamentally, we know all the news around the world. We know exactly what's happening. The U.S. Dollar Index is just kind of staying close by so it hasn't been affecting it that much and that's giving the markets a little bit of a boost right now. But, we know that the long-term trend could be really bearish with all the fundamental news we know about wheat."
