LONDON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Northwest European gasoline refining margins rose sharply above $10 a barrel on Tuesday following a sharp sell-off in crude prices, while concerns over demand increased.
Some 11,000 metric tons of Eurobob E10 barge traded in the Argus window. Gunvor, Equinor and Musket sold to Varo, Mabanaft, BP and BMW.
Another 4,000 tons of Eurobob E5 traded. Gunvor sold to Exxon and Trafigura.
Brent crude futures fell below $70 a barrel on Tuesday for the first time since December 2021, after OPEC+ revised down its demand forecast for this year and 2025.
EU and UK gasoline exports are projected to reach 614,000 barrels per day (bpd) this month, Kpler data showed, down from 1.14 million bpd in August.
