BOC International released a research report stating that the chemical industry has stabilized and is picking up, but the pace of price and recovery has been disrupted by the Middle East conflict that broke out at the end of February. Geopolitical conflicts bring great uncertainty, but three certain trends may breed investment opportunities: first, the center of chemical energy and production costs has risen; second, China's advantages and share in the global chemical industry chain will further increase; third, domestic supply-side optimization is still ongoing.
