Daily Chemical Reaction

PVC, Caustic Soda & The Four Seasons

Key Points:

  • We see support for US PVC prices near-term (into 2Q20), while we think that caustic soda values are likely to remain under pressure.
  • Our Four corporate items today target the Lanxess 4Q release and recent Dow Chemical, LyondellBasell and Eastman Chemical presentations.
  • Other items range from Japan LNG to Chemical sector M&A activity.
