LONDON (dpa-AFX) - British investment bank Barclays has reiterated its "Underweight" rating on BASF with a price target of 40 euros. Europe's chemical sector entered the new year buoyed by hopes of an economic recovery and policy support, analyst Katie Richards wrote in a sector report on Thursday. However, the conflict in the Middle East subsequently shifted the landscape, triggering concerns over energy supply, logistics, and demand. BASF, Lanxess, and Evonik remain the most heavily exposed to upstream raw material production./bek/gl
