HOUSTON (Dow Jones)--Sunoco Inc. (SUN) swung to a third-quarter loss on a host of charges and continued weak demand for oil-based fuels and chemicals.
Those difficulties are expected to continue amid the economy's weakness, said Chief Executive Lynn Elsenhans.
"As we consider the outlook for the rest of the year and into 2010, we do not anticipate significant improvement in the refining market," Elsenhans said during a call Thursday with analysts.
