0900 GMT - Clariant is moving in the right direction, but markets need to now support these improving results, Vontobel's Sibylle Bischofberger says in a research note. The Swiss chemical company overall had a weaker third quarter due to a still challenging market situation, she says. However, cost-saving programs are taking effect and margins have improved, exceeding market expectations despite lower volumes, she adds. Shares trade 1.3% higher at 7.23 Swiss francs.
