Demand for butane from Asian cracker operators weakened this week as prices of naphtha, which is a widely preferred feedstock for petrochemical production, are on a downtrend, as per ICIS. Butane has lost its price advantage for cracker operators at the current US$7-10/ton (€5-8/ton) cheaper price than naphtha, against the acceptable price gap of at least US$50/ton.
