Closing Glance: Agricultural chemicals follow markets higher
NEW YORK—Shares of many agricultural chemical companies rose on Thursday, following Wall Street higher as investors found comfort in lower oil prices and a rising U.S. dollar.
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve lowered key interest rates by a quarter-point to monitor inflation, which gave the dollar a boost.
Here's how shares of major agricultural chemical companies fared Thursday:
DuPont Co., up 3 cents to $48.94.
Dow Chemical Co., up 25 cents to $40.40.
Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc., down 79 cents to $183.16.
Mosaic Co., up 4 cents to $122.55.
