NEW YORK - Shares of agricultural chemical companies traded mixed on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged.
In the sector, Monsanto Co. posted a higher fiscal third-quarter profit on strong demand for Roundup herbicide.
Monsanto also raised its full-year earnings forecast, but Goldman Sachs analyst Robert Koort said investors may have been hoping for a more "robust" revision.
How shares of major agricultural chemical companies fared Wednesday:
DuPont Co. rose 15 cents to $44.11.
Dow Chemical Co. added 19 cents to $36.77.
Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan lost $5.77, or 2.5 percent, to $221.58.
