MOSCOW, May 4 (Reuters) - Saudi Aramco held its official selling prices for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) steady in May, while Algeria's Sonatrach cut them by between 2 and 18 percent due to rising global supply and falling demand, traders said on Monday.
Saudi Aramco's official selling prices for May were set at $750 per ton for propane and $800 per ton for butane.
Propane and butane are two types of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) with different boiling points. LPG is primarily used as a fuel for cars, for heating, and as a feedstock for other petrochemicals.
Sonatrach reduced its official prices for May by $150 per ton for propane to $700 and by $20 per ton for butane to $880.
Aramco's official selling prices are used as a reference for contracts for the supply of liquefied petroleum gas from the Middle East to the Asia-Pacific region.
Sonatrach's official selling prices are used as benchmarks for the Mediterranean and Black Sea region, including Türkiye.
