LONDON- Gasoline stocks held in independent storage in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) refining and storage area fell by almost 9% in the week to Thursday, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed.

* Gasoline inventories fell to lowest level since December 2019 due to strong exports to the United States, said Insights Global's Lars van Wageningen.

* Gasoil stocks fell as demand up the Rhine River remained stable after disruptions from flooding last week, Wageningen said.

* Fuel oil stocks slightly rose due to a lack of export opportunities.
