摘要

HOUSTON (ICIS)--US-listed chemical shares were mixed as oil prices rose while general stock markets fell. The table below shows the stock indices followed by ICIS.The general markets fell after signs of rising tensions between China and the US. Among them was the passage in the US Senate of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (Senate Bill 945). The bill would require public companies to disclose whether they are owned or controlled by a foreign government. The bill's sponsor, US Senator John Kennedy (Republican-Louisiana), singled out China in his announcement of the legislation.
