		Dow   Chemical Co. said Thursday it intends to sell part of its raw plastics   businesses to Kuwait's state-run oil company in turn for $9.5 billion and the   creation of a 50-50 joint venture, giving the largest U.S. chemical company   greater access to emerging growth markets and the petrochemical materials   used in its products. The long-awaited deal pushed Dow's (US OW) stock up   more than 9% in earlier trade. Shares closed 6.3% higher at $44.39. Dow Chief   Executive Andrew Liveris framed the joint venture with Petrochemical   Industries Co., a subsidiary of state-run Kuwait Petroleum Corp., as one akin   to an integrated oil company, such as Exxon Mobil.
