President Trump announced the preliminary Mexico agreement on August 27, 2018, saying he would terminate NAFTA and rename it the US-Mexico Trade Agreement. He said Mexico had promised to immediately buy more US farm products, and talks with Canada would begin that week.
A pledge from Mexico to increase farm purchases would support US corn, DDGS and soybean demand, though details of the commitment remain unclear.
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.
Not enough comparable past events yet for a historical read.
After 696 past bullish trade events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.9%), and +0.7% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
