摘要

ACC's January 2013 Chemical Activity Barometer (CAB) posted a 0.4% gain over December 2012 on a 3-month moving average basis. This is the sixth consecutive month-to-month gain in the CAB, and year-on-year, the CAB increased 2.8%. Growth in the housing market contributed to the gain, says Kevin Swift, chief economist at ACC.
