The combination of a legal threat and a signal of negotiations keeps the outcome for U.S. yellow corn exports to Mexico uncertain. A deal would support corn demand, while a dispute would cut into an important export outlet.
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.
