Researchers at the Autonomous University of Chapingo in Mexico showed progress in developing non-GM yellow corn seeds intended to replace US corn imports. The effort comes amid a major bilateral trade dispute over Mexico's restrictions on GM corn.

After 683 past bearish trade events, Corn moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and +0.3% over 20.
