LONDON, June 12 (Reuters) - Northwest European gasoline profit margins rose to $14.71 a barrel on Thursday, despite a higher stock build.
A total of 6,000 tons of Eurobob E5 barges traded, with Gunvor and Shell selling to BP and Trafigura.
No Eurobob E10 barges traded in the Argus window.
Gasoline stocks independently held in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) refining and storage hub rose 2.3% to around 1.04 million metric tons on the week, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed on Thursday.
Stocks rose despite there being strong demand on land markets, Insight Global's Lars van Wageningen said, attributing it to delays slowing down and allowing traders to build stocks.
EU and UK gasoline and blending component exports to other regions averaged 753,000 barrels per day (bpd) so far in June, lower than the 1.18 million bpd in May, Kpler data showed.
