Companies that produce chemicals, materials, metals, and minerals. They sit upstream of all manufacturing, supplying everything from semiconductor materials to agriculture (fertilizer) and construction. Results turn on energy prices and the cycle, and the sector ties into environmental rules and supply-chain security (critical minerals).
