August 11 Titanium Products Market Quotes 

Titanium Market Overview

Titanium ore: The Panxi titanium ore price index stood at 1,351.25 today, unchanged from yesterday. The titanium ore market remained weak: downstream product prices kept falling, buyers pressured prices hard, and new order prices trended steadily lower. Overall, the titanium ore market continued to run weak.

Imported ore: Shipments of imported titanium ore remained sluggish and inquiries weak. With domestic titanium ore prices declining, imported ore prices weakened in tandem.

Titanium slag: In July, the tender price for 90% low-calcium-magnesium high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was CNY 5,400/ton, down CNY 50/ton from June. Some downstream plants cut operating rates, and competition in the high-titanium slag market remained intense. Titanium feedstock prices were soft, but cost pressure from auxiliary materials stayed high, so high-titanium slag prices held steady for now.

Titanium tetrachloride: Market quotes ranged from CNY 5,800 to 6,000/ton. Supply and demand were broadly balanced, shipments were stable, and prices continued to move steadily.

Titanium sponge: Market prices were weak but stable. Mainstream quotes for grade-0 titanium sponge stood at around CNY 45,000–46,000/ton, while mainstream quotes for civil-use grade-1 titanium sponge were around CNY 44,000–45,000/ton. End-user demand remained depressed and new-order inquiries were quiet. With prices at low levels and supply and demand in a fragile balance, titanium sponge prices held weak and stable.

Titanium dioxide: The titanium dioxide price index stood at 14,676.56 today, unchanged from yesterday. Market shipments remained sluggish, inventories at some plants kept building, operating rates declined, and raw material costs weakened. With both supply and demand weak and widespread wait-and-see sentiment, TiO2 prices ran weak and stable.
