LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Northwest European gasoline refining margins were little changed at about $40.60 a barrel on Monday as trading activity picked up.
A total of 22,000 metric tons of gasoline E5 barges traded, with ExxonMobil, Glencore and Varo selling to Trafigura and TOTSA.
A further 8,000 tons of E10 barges traded, with ExxonMobil and Sahara selling to Varo.
Varo sold an E5 barge to Trafigura in the Platts window.
The squeeze on crude oil and refined fuels is set to tighten, and it could take up to two years to refill global stockpiles drawn on as an emergency measure, the chief executive of the world's biggest oil company Saudi Aramco 2222.SE said on Monday.
BP BP.L has adjusted its refineries to move focus from jet fuel to diesel production, Chief Executive Officer Meg O'Neill told the Energy Intelligence conference in London on Monday.
Ukraine will double down on attacking Russian oil refineries in response to a new policy of airstrikes by Moscow designed to force people to abandon Kyiv and other cities, but will not target civilians, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said.
