Mexican officials postponed the ban on US GMO corn imports from March 31, 2024 until 2025, citing risks to agricultural production and food security. The delay keeps uncertainty over a major US corn export market in place.
Mexico is a major buyer of US corn, so postponement removes a near-term threat to export demand and supports US corn prices relative to a ban scenario.
After 318 past bullish policy events, CORN moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.5%), and -0.2% over 20.
