- Northwest European gasoline refining margins fell by $2.77 on Friday to $38.11 a barrel, but strong buying activity and low inventories limited losses.

  • Gunvor, Sahara and Totsa sold about 10,000 metric tons of E10 gasoline barges to Exxon Mobil and Varo.

  • Trafigura and ATL sold about 16,200 tons of Eurobob E5 gasoline barges to Gunvor, Exxon Mobil and MB Energy.

  • Russian gasoline output fell to a level equivalent to only around 65% of the seasonal average consumption after Ukrainian drone attacks led to stoppages at large oil refineries, according to two industry sources and Reuters calculations.

  • Gasoline stocks held independently in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp refining and storage hub dropped 3.8% to 904,000 tons, their lowest since May 2024, with exports to South Africa and the United States along with a rare trade to Brazil, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed.
