- We highlight several relevant corporate news/update items today (e.g. Covestro and Evonik business updates, Celanese and Sekisui price hikes initiatives, multiple production restart announcements, etc.).
- Other relevant items range from strength in Asia LPG markets, to Linde and Shell commercializing low-carbon technology for ethylene that adds to the list of other initiatives, to the record low setting for US mortgage rates.
