* Northwest European (NWE) gasoline exports in February are set to reach 1.15 mln tonnes so far, according to Refinitiv data, compared with a revised four-month high of 3.04 mln tonnes in January.
* "NWE gasoline shipments to the United States and West Africa got off to a
slow
start in February weighed by rising freight rates and abundant stocks on both
sides of the Atlantic as demand was crimped in the US by icy roads, storms and
freezing temperatures," Refinitiv analysts said.
* ARA gasoline stocks rose slightly to 1.4 million tonnes in the week to
Thursday,
their highest since August 2020, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global
showed.
* U.S. gasoline stocks rose by 5 million barrels to 239.6
million
barrels, the EIA said, far surpassing the 1.3 million barrel rise that analysts
expected in a Reuters poll.
