Conference Call with the Dow Investor Relations team on May 5 at 10am EST
Key Points:
- 2Q20 issues noted with each sector earnings report are mostly well expected. Our concerns target many aggressive/hopeful 2H20 expectations.

- We quickly touch on the Butadiene market as prices are falling around the globe as a result of low demand and difficulties with storage.
- Other items of note today range from oil-and-gas commentary, to supply-chain items of note, to PE operating rate curbs with inventory builds in mind.
