LONDON, May 2 (Reuters) - Northwest European gasoline refining margins slipped to $21.67 a barrel on Thursday, even as European gasoline stocks dipped and oil edged back toward seven-week lows.
* A total of 10,000 metric tons of Eurobob E10 traded, with Shell, Exxon, Musket selling to Gunvor, Exxon and Mabanaft.
* Another 8,000 tons of E5 gasoline traded. Litasco, Shell, Glencore sold to ExxonMobil, Gunvor and Varo.
* Gasoline stocks slipped by over 3% to 1.02 million tons on rising exports to the United States and West Africa, according to Dutch consultancy Insights Global.
* Oil edged back towards the previous day's seven-week low on Thursday, paring earlier gains, after U.S. data pointed to persistent labour market strength and further dimmed prospects of an early decline in U.S. interest rates.
* Fire broke out at a primary oil refining unit of the Ryazan refinery operated by Russia's Rosneft on May 1, according to industry sources.
* U.S. gasoline stocks rose by 0.3 million barrels in the week to 227.1 million barrels, the EIA said, compared with analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll for a 1.1 million-barrel draw.
