Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index is 1775.00, unchanged from yesterday. Domestic titanium ore beneficiation plants are operating below capacity, and new order inquiries are weak, with most buyers adopting a wait-and-see approach. Titanium ore prices are currently stable.
Titanium Slag
In February, the bidding price for 90% low-calcium magnesium high-grade slag from northern enterprises was 5300 yuan/ton, a decrease of 100 yuan/ton compared to January. Due to high raw material costs, slag plants are maintaining reduced production capacity, resulting in a weak supply-demand balance in the market. High-grade slag prices remain low.
