• Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) gasoil stocks rose by 2.6% in the week to Thursday to 2.26 million metric tons, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed.
• Demand for gasoline and gasoil in inland markets up the river Rhine firmed on the week after high water levels had hampered navigation earlier in the month.
