April 2021 Chemical Activity Barometer Index Continues To Improve
from the American Chemistry Council
The Chemical Activity Barometer (CAB), a leading economic indicator created by the American Chemistry Council (ACC),rose 0.7% in April on a three-month moving average (3MMA) basis following a 1.1% increase in March and a 0.9% gain in February. On a year-over-year (Y/Y) basis, the barometer rose 12.0% in April (3MMA).
The unadjusted data show a 0.3% increase in April following a 1.4% gain in March. The diffusion index reached 100% in April. The diffusion index marks the number of positive contributors relative to the total number of indicators monitored. The CAB reading for March was revised downward by 0.35 points and the reading for February was revised downward by 0.58 points. The April data are provisional and subject to revision.

âCompared to the alternatives, [plastic] reduces greenhouse gases (which cause global warming) and saves energy; that is rather ironic.â â
, Director of Economics and Statistics for the American Chemistry Council, in his article âOil Is in Everything, From Shampoo to Vitamins,â pointing out that, because plastics (which are petroleum products) are lighter than metals, they have helped to create cars that save 26% in fuel, according to a 2005 European study on conversion to plastic materials in Europe
âMost pharmaceutical drugs are made via chemical reactions that involve the use of organic molecules. Petroleum is a plentiful source of organic molecules that feed into the drug synthesis process. Some sources cite as much as 99% of pharmaceutical feedstocks and reagents as coming from petrochemical sources. Even drugs that come from natural sources like plants are
