Europe Gasoline/Naphtha-Gasoline cracks edge higher
LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) -Northwest European gasoline refining margins edged slightly higher on Tuesday, gaining a meagre 35 cents a barrel to $6.57, amid expectations of a higher exports in November and a drop in U.S. inventories last week.
Some 17,000 metric tons of Eurobob E5 barges were traded. Gunvor, Litasco, Varo and TotalEnergies sold to Shell, Trafigura and Varo.
A further 7,000 tons of Eurobob E10 barges were traded. Shell and Musket sold to Trafigura, Glencore and BP.
"A drop in European blending costs, led by light reformate premiums and a correction in Eurobob prices, has revitalised Europe's gasoline export appeal," said Jorge Molinero of Sparta Commodities.
Gasoline exports from the EU and the UK in November to other regions are set to rise on the month to 985,000 barrels per day (bpd) from 716,000 bpd in October, according to Kpler data.
U.S. crude oil stockpiles likely rose last week, while distillate and gasoline inventories were seen down, an extended Reuters poll showed on Tuesday. Analysts estimated stockpiles of gasoline USOILG=ECI fell by about 900,000 barrels last week.
BP BP.L plans to sell all 310 of its petrol stations in the Netherlands, a spokesman for the British oil and gas company said on Tuesday, confirming a report in Dutch newspaper AD.
