The Chemical Reaction

 

Radar Love – Global Supply Chain Dislocations Ping Supportive Of Efforts Targeting WC Improvements

  

Key Points:

  • We find recent working capital issues among chemical end-product sellers has accelerated initiatives to enhance supply chain visibility and efficiency – the expanding radar of home product producers in this area is worth notice.
  • We highlight several corporate items worthy of note (e.g. DSM, LG Corp, Chandra Asri, Koppers, IMCD, Flugger & Aramco updates; Lukoil, SABIC, ExxonMobil, Neste, Petrobras, Lukoil & STADLER strategic news; etc.)  
  • Other items today range from US chemical rail traffic reflecting a five-year high for this time of year, to strength in Asia polypropylene and methanol, to the latest US consumer spending update that reflects declining momentum.
