  • A total of 26,250 metric tons of E5 gasoline barges traded in the Argus window as BP, Shell, Equinor and Trafigura sold to TotalEnergies and Exxon Mobil.

  • An additional 12,000 tons of E10 gasoline barges changed hands, with Shell and Trafigura selling to Varo, Exxon and Sahara.

  • Gasoline stocks held independently in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp refining and storage hub fell about 6.3% on the week, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed on Thursday, while naphtha stocks fell 4.3% to 374,000 tons. ARA/

  • Product stocks in Asia's oil hub Singapore also fell, hitting their lowest in more than nine months in the week to May 6, official data showed.

  • Fuel retailers in France are now earning the same gross profit margins as before the Iran war after an initial short-lived spike in prices, the French finance ministry said on Wednesday.
