Yeocheon NCC raises naphtha cracker utilisation to 65 percent
Yeocheon NCC has raised the operating rate of its naphtha cracking plant to 65 percent from 60 percent, the company said on Sunday. It cited improved conditions for stabilising supply and demand, after the government introduced a subsidy policy to support naphtha purchases and a financial support system was also put in place. The company’s utilisation fell to 55 percent last month amid higher feedstock prices and supply uncertainty linked to a prolonged Middle East situation.

Bitcoin April return nears best since 2020
Bitcoin has gained 13.71 percent so far in April, nearing its strongest April return since 2020. It would need about another 0.5 percent rise by month-end to beat last April’s 14.08 percent and post its best April performance in the past five years. April has historically been a strong month for bitcoin, but recent years have been mixed. Despite the rebound, sentiment remains in fear territory and geopolitical risks persist.
