Prices of spot delivered thermal coal cargoes into Turkey slipped Friday, following a lower-priced deal for US material and buyers willing to wait for cheaper prices, sources said.
Platts assessed the weekly CIF Turkey 6,000 kcal/kg assessment at $88/mt, down $2 week on week.
A deal for an April Panamax of high-sulfur Central Appalachian coal delivered into Iskenderun -- first reported at the end of last week -- was confirmed by market participants.
The transaction was executed in the "high $86/mt" and was sold to a Turkish utility.
