- Northwest European gasoline refinery profit margins eased by $2.91 to $27.68 a barrel on Tuesday after rising to their highest last week since August 2023.

  • A total of 30,000 metric tons of E5 gasoline barges traded in the Argus window as BP, Shell, Varo, Gunvor and Trafigura sold to TotalEnergies, MB Energy and Exxon Mobil.

  • An additional 18,000 tons of E10 gasoline barges changed hands, with Shell, Gunvor and Trafigura selling to Exxon, MB Energy, Van Raak, Trafigura and BP.

  • Ukraine attacked one of Russia's biggest oil refineries on Tuesday, sparking a fire in an industrial area of Kirishi town in the Leningrad region, Governor Alexander Drozdenko said.

  • India's auto dealerships are bracing for potential ripple effects on fuel prices and supply chains from the Middle East conflict, a senior industry official said on Tuesday after retail vehicle sales hit a record high for April.

  • U.S. gasoline inventories are drawing down sharply, heading towards historical summer lows as a collapse in imports and shifts in refinery yields tighten supply, Morgan Stanley said in a Monday note.
