Moody's: Macro trends will heighten credit risk for certain sub-sectors of the US chemical industry
New York, January 26, 2016 -- Today, Moody's Investors Service said that it is conducting a comprehensive review of its rated issuers within the US chemical industry. The ratings agency said that its decision was driven by falling commodity prices, a strengthening US dollar, and slowing global growth. Moody's analysts expect meaningful revenue and cash flow deterioration for affected sub-sectors over the next 12-18 months, resulting in a re-ordering of some ratings in the industry.
