Closing arguments have concluded in the US USMCA trade complaint against Mexico's restrictions on GM corn, with a three-arbitrator tribunal due to rule in November. Mexico argues its precautionary measures are permitted and that the restrictions barely affect US exports.

After 480 past neutral trade events, CORN moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
