Gasoline stocks independently held in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) refining and storage hub fell nearly 6% on the week, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed on Thursday.
- Gasoline stocks fell to around 1.02 million metric tons, the lowest since early October 2024, with flows going to the U.S. and Canada and more expected in the coming week, Insight Global’s Lars van Wageningen said.
- Blending activity was picking up but was dampened by delays at loading ports, with some barges waiting up to three weeks to discharge, he added.
- Gasoil stocks, which include diesel, rose nearly 1% to 2 million tonnes.
- Fuel oil stocks fell over 6% to 1.08 million tonnes on higher exports and slower imports, Wageningen added.
