The USTR presented oral arguments last week before a USMCA dispute settlement panel challenging Mexican restrictions on agricultural biotechnology products. The US says the measures lack scientific basis and threaten US corn exports.
A final panel report is expected by the end of the year.

After 439 past neutral policy events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.2%), and +1.1% over 20.
