-- 信越化学工業（東証：4063）が3月に米国ポリ塩化ビニル（PVC）事業に34億ドルを追加投資したことで、中東情勢の混乱の中で価格引き上げや生産削減に踏み切る多くの競合他社よりも供給ショックへの耐性が向上したと、日経アジアが金曜日に報じた。 汎用グレードのPVCにおける価格競争は依然として激しく、中国サプライヤーによる大幅な増産によって多くの競合他社が赤字や工場閉鎖に追い込まれている中、信越化学工業は米国という地理的優位性を活用していると、同紙は伝えている。 信越化学工業は、米国子会社であるシンテックを通じて、米国のシェールガス由来のエチレンを用いてPVCを生産している。これにより、中東産の石油由来原料よりも地政学的リスクが低く、安定した低コストの調達が可能になると、同通信社は報じた。 （マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話から得られた情報に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれている可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。）
