President López Obrador said Tuesday he is considering allowing imports of genetically modified yellow corn for livestock feed. The comment marks a shift from earlier government statements committed to phasing out GMO corn by early 2024.

After 729 past bullish trade events, Corn moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
