CRUDE OIL
Crude oil prices are slightly higher in early electronic dealings. Bears remain in command with still no strong signs of a market bottom being in place.

GRAINS
Prices were solidly higher overnight, as trading has become choppier at higher levels. Bulls have lost a bit of technical momentum in corn and beans, but still have the decided technical advantage. Would-be top pickers should beware. Grain traders will closely watch the "outside markets" today (gold, crude oil). Traders will also scrutinize today's weekly USDA export sales report.
