An IPS commentary says Mexico's Supreme Court ruled in October that courts may block commercial permits for GM corn. The ruling is presented as a win for biodiversity advocates and a loss for seed companies such as Monsanto, Syngenta and Dow.

The ruling reinforces the legal basis for restricting GM corn in Mexico, a major buyer of US corn, which supports a cautious view on export demand.
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.
