LONDON, June 27 (Reuters) - Northwest European diesel barge refining margins fell by about 76 cents to $20.51 a barrel on Thursday, even as stocks in Northwest Europe fell by almost 3% on the week.
- A total of six 10ppm diesel barges traded in the Platts window on Thursday, up from four on Wednesday. Shell and ExxonMobil sold barges to Hartree, Gunvor and BP.
- Independently-held gasoil inventories in Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) STK-GO-ARA fell by nearly 3% in the week to Thursday to just under 2.2 million metric tons, according to data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global.
- A drop-off in gasoil imports caused the stock draw, Insights Global's van Wageningen said, as well as lower demand for product in inland markets up the Rhine river because of higher prices.
- Jet fuel stocks also fell, by around 2.5% to 920,000 tons, as demand starts to pick up for the summer holiday season, he added.
- Singapore's middle distillates stockpiles were little changed from a week earlier as gains in net exports of diesel/gasoil were offset by the declines in jet fuel/kerosene, official data showed on Thursday.
- U.S. distillate stockpiles USOILD=ECI , which include diesel and heating oil, fell by 377,000 barrels last week to 121.3 million barrels, Energy Information Administration data showed. Distillate product supplied declined by 441,000 bpd week-over-week to 3.54 bpd.
