Naphtha prices in Asia have spiked to a three week high on Wednesday supported by Brent crude. Naphtha cracks hover around a 3-1/2 month high on firm sentiments, as per Reuters. South Korea's Samssung Total bought around 50,000 tons of open-spec grade naphtha at premiums of US$4-5/ton to Japan spot quotes on cost-and-freight (C&F) basis, similar to what rival LG Chem paid on Tuesday.
