Platts launches 12.5% protein CIF Marmara wheat assessment

In line with the continued development of a liquid market for delivered 12.5% protein wheat in Turkey, S&P Global Platts has launched a 12.5% protein CIF Marmara wheat coasters assessment to sit alongside its existing Black Sea coasters assessments suite, effective Oct. 18.

Platts receives regular price indications on the 12.5% protein CIF Marmara market, which is part of a larger Black Sea wheat coasters market currently represented by Platts assessments of 12.5% FOB Azov (WRASS00) and 13.5% CIF Marmara wheat (WDPMT00). These values are linked by the Azov-Marmara freight rate and the CIF Marmara protein spread.

The new 12.5% protein CIF Marmara wheat assessment provides greater transparency in this group of interrelated markets, and expands Platts coverage to include what is now the most liquid of the three markets.
