Europe Gasoline/Naphtha-Gasoline profit margins fall

LONDON, July 22 (Reuters) - Northwest European gasoline profit margins were down by 43 cents a barrel on Tuesday at $13.31.

• A total of 10,000 metric tons of Eurobob E5 gasoline barges traded, with BP and Trafigura selling to Shell and Aramco.

• An additional 14,000 tons of Eurobob E10 barges traded with TotalEnergies and BP selling to Varo, ExxonMobil, MB Energy and Shell.

• Gasoline cars were banned from ride-hailing platforms in Beijing as of July 20, Auto Review, the official media outlet of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, reported on Tuesday.

• Meanwhile in the U.S., gasoline prices could fall below $3 a gallon this summer for the first time in over four years as a stretch of bad weather events dampens fuel demand and a jump in imports fills inventories.

• EU and UK gasoline and blending component exports to other regions averaged 894,000 barrels per day (bpd) in July so far, lower than the 917,000 bpd in June, Kpler data showed.
