LONDON, March 3 (Reuters) - Northwest European gasoline refining profit margins fell slightly to $7.95 a barrel on Monday as export activity slowed.
A total of 4,000 metric tons of E10 gasoline barges traded, as Trafigura sold to Varo and Shell.
A further 7,000 tons of Eurobob E5 traded, as Vitol, Litasco and Exxon Mobil sold to TotalEnergies, Musket and Mabanaft.
EU and UK gasoline exports reached 782,000 barrels per day in February, down from 977,000 bpd in January, Kpler data showed.
EBOB blend margins remain unworkable, Sparta Commodities analyst Philip Jones-Lux said, as the gasoline-naphtha spread remains narrow. "This should be broadly supportive for prompt EBOB, which we would expect to now recovery somewhat next week," he added.
