LONDON, Aug 16 (Reuters) -Northwest European gasoline refining margins rose by around 60 cents to $11.91 a barrel on Friday as a fall in regional inventories provided some support.
No Eurobob E10 barges traded in the Argus window on Friday.
Trafigura sold two Eurobob E5 barges to Shell.
ARA gasoline stocks fell by 1% to 995,000 metric tons in the week to Aug. 15, according to data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global.

EU and UK gasoline exports have reached 871,000 barrels per day so far this month, compared with 1.21 million bpd in July, Kpler data showed.
