* Gasoil stocks stood at 2.35 million tonnes, falling 3.4% to their lowest since early February, with higher demand up the Rhine river, said Insights Global's Lars van Wageningen.
* Demand was spurred by high water levels on the river and lower freight rates. Demand was particularly strong in Switzerland, which relies on French supplies that are currently curtailed by strike action, Wageningen said.
* Jet fuel stocks jumped 17% to 815,000 tonnes, lifted by higher imports and cargoes that were unable to discharge in strike-hit France and were diverted to ARA, Wageningen said.
* Gasoline stocks rose 1.6% to 1.47 million tonnes on slower
exports to the United States. The following table shows volumes
