Raw sugar has been one of the best\nperformers among commodities since the fourth quarter began, up\nby just over 10 percent and hitting a two-month high.\n \"We suspect we are nearing resistance levels, but do not\ndiscount a couple of days of further strength as funds continue\nto cover,\" Sucden Financial analyst Nick Penney said, referring\nto raw sugar.\n Oil prices rose by 4 percent in Thursday's session as Turkey\nstepped up retaliatory artillery strikes on a Syrian border\ntown, while its parliament approved further military action if\nthere is more spillover from Syria's internal conflict.\n \n A fire that broke out Wednesday at Exxon Mobil Corp's\n refining and chemical complex in Baytown, Texas, also\nboosted crude prices. The refinery is the largest operating in\nthe United States. \n London's benchmark Brent crude settled at $112.58 a barrel,\nup $4.41. New York-traded U.S. crude gained $3.57 to finish at\n$91.71.\n Chicago-traded soybean futures rose for a second straight\nday, climbing nearly 2 percent as end-users and investors hunted\nfor bargains the day after prices hit a three-month low. Corn\nand wheat prices rose in sympathy. \n The rebound came after the U.S. Department of Agriculture\nsaid export sales of soybeans last week jumped to the highest\nlevel in three months, renewing worries about thinning supplies\nand the need to ration demand.\n The front-month soy contract on the Chicago Board of Trade,\nNovember, settled up 1.3 percent, or 19-3\/4 cents, at\n$15.51-1\/2 a bushel. \n The contract is down from a record high of nearly $17.70 a\nbushel set a month ago during a powerful rally sparked by\nconcerns of massive crop destruction from a drought in the U.S.\nMidwest. Recent data from the government suggests that crop\ndamage may not have been as bad as feared.\n \n Prices at 2:12 p.m. EDT (1812 GMT) \n \n LAST NET PCT YTD\n CHG CHG CHG\n US crude 91.44 3.30 3.7% -7.5%\n Brent crude 111.78 3.61 3.3% 4.1%\n Natural gas 3.449 0.055 1.6% 15.4%\n \n US gold 1791.70 11.90 0.7% 14.4%\n Gold 1789.30 11.91 0.7% 14.4%\n US Copper 378.55 0.15 0.0% 10.2%\n LME Copper 8315.00 25.00 0.3% 9.4%\n Dollar 79.371 -0.594 -0.7% -1.0%\n \n \n US corn 762.25 4.75 0.6% 17.9%\n US soybeans 1554.25 22.00 1.4% 29.7%\n US wheat 884.00 0.00 0.0% 35.4%\n \n US Coffee 174.80 -6.25 -3.5% -23.4%\n US Cocoa 2407.00 -9.00 -0.4% 14.1%\n US Sugar 21.65 0.07 0.3% -6.8%\n \n US silver 34.960 0.270 0.8% 25.2%\n US platinum 1719.00 28.70 1.7% 22.4%\n US palladium 673.30 15.40 2.3% 2.6%<\/pre>\n
