News: Europe Gasoline/Naphtha-Gasoline margins rise slightly

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.
• Stocks fell as transatlantic exports firmed, though inland demand weakened, said Insight Global's Lars van Wageningen.
• 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.
• Global naphtha refining margins are set to remain strong through the fourth quarter as unplanned supply disruptions provide potential further support, Sparta Commodities analyst Samantha Hartke said.
