Europe Gasoline/Naphtha-Gasoline margins rise

LONDON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Northwest European gasoline refining profit margins rose by over $1 on Friday to $10.13 a barrel as regional inventories fell.

• A total of 8,000 metric tons of E5 gasoline traded, as TotalEnergies and Trafigura sold barges to Litasco, ExxonMobil, Vitol and Sahara.

• No barges of E10 gasoline barges traded.

• In the Platts window, Trafigura offered a gasoline cargo in the Mediterranean, while Musket offered a cargo for Thames delivery. Neither offer attracted any buyers.

• Gasoline stocks independently held in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) refining and storage hub fell by nearly 10% in the week to Feb. 13, their first decline in seven weeks, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed.

• Gasoline stocks stood at 1.53 million metric tons, falling on higher exports to the United States and slowing imports, Insight Global's Lars van Wageningen said.

• UK and EU gasoline exports are on track to reach 846,000 barrels per day so far this month, compared with 946,000 bpd in January, Kpler data show.
