Key economic indicators point to a global slowdown, with margins for many chemicals either contracting or expected to contract.

In the ICIS Think Tank podcast, chief news correspondent Tom Brown talks to insight editor Nigel Davis, senior consultant John Richardson, and Paul Hodges, chairman of New Normal Consulting, about Shell's dramatic move, the clean energy transition, supply and demand shifts in the global polyethylene market, and a potential correction to global inflation in the near future.
