Europe Gasoline/Naphtha-Gasoline refining margins edge higher
LONDON, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Northwest European gasoline refinery profit margins rose slightly by 15 cents a barrel to $6.26 on Friday.
About 8,000 metric tons of Eurobob E5 gasoline traded on barges in the Argus window, with ExxonMobil and Glencore selling to BP and Varo.
Also, a total of 12,000 tons of E10 gasoline traded with Sahara, Shell and BP selling to Varo and Finco.
The peak maintenance periods for Russian primary oil refining this year are expected this month and in September, based on Reuters calculations using estimates from industry sources.
Gasoline stocks held independently in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) refining and storage hub fell by 6.4% on the week, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed on Thursday.
Meanwhile, EU-27 and UK gasoline and blending component exports to other regions have averaged 822,000 barrels per day so far in January, against 776,000 bpd over the whole of December.
