• We flag pertinent energy, chemical, and other corporate updates (e.g., DuPont, Celanese, AdvanSix, Orion Engineered Materials, Deere, & others).
• We discuss relevant ESG items, ranging from the Singapore carbon tax rate outlook to the sustainability ambitions at Deere. We flag our recent ESG research examining new energy transition valuations and inflation in LINK.
• We discuss numerous other pertinent chemical sector items in this report.
