US Chemical Price Erosion Ahead & Other Items                    

Key Points:
  • We maintain a cautious view of relative US commodity chemical strength to Asia and note a few chemicals/polymers that we view as at risk.  A broad US price collapse is possible.
  • Corporate items target AdvanSix, Pilbara, Orocobre, Venator, Balchem and Stepan; Other news/blurbs span the chemicals hot-topic list.
