Thursday, September 27, 2012, 12:16 PM Brazil-based Braskem (BAK -6.4%) is downgraded to Neutral at Credit Suisse, which says the market may look at BAK differently because of a setback in basic petrochemicals, which make up ~25% of sales. Prices and spreads have dropped 15%-48% Q/Q for many products, which could derail the healthy trends seen in the resin business, CS says. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
