2012 was a difficult year for the chemicals industry as a fragile economic recovery in the U.S., weakness in Europe and a slowdown in China led to reduced demand for chemical products. The weak economic environment also led to pricing pressures and forced major diversified chemicals companies such as E.L. Du Pont De Nemours and Co. (DuPont) (NYSE:DD) to make significant adjustments. The going was also tough for renewable chemicals and advanced biofuels company Gevo Inc. (NASDAQ:GEVO). However, the global economy is showing signs of stabilizing, which augurs well for chemicals industry. Street-Wire.com has added DD and GEVO this morning to their Daily Rating Watch List. Rating can mean a number of things for investors and we encourage all shareholders to sign up to speak to a member of our research team today at
