LONDON, April 23 (Reuters) - Northwest European gasoline profit margins rose by around $1.16 to $14.20 a barrel on Wednesday, as U.S. gasoline inventories fell by more than expected last week according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
A total of 9,000 metric tons of Eurobob E5 traded, with Trafigura selling barges to Litasco and BMV Mineraloel.
Another 5,300 tons of Eurobob E10 traded, with Shell and Litasco selling to BMV and Varo.
U.S. gasoline stocks fell by 4.5 million barrels in the week to 229.5 million barrels, the EIA said, compared with analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll for a 1.4 million-barrel draw.
EU and UK gasoline and blending component exports to other regions are expected to reach 1.083 million barrels per day (bpd) in April, up from 864,000 bpd in March , Kpler data show.
