Market price of titanium products (August 3)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1391.25, unchanged from the previous working day. The domestic titanium ore market remains weak. Water beneficiation plants in the Panzhihua-Xichang region are operating at low capacity, resulting in a very tight supply of middlings ore. The downstream market is sluggish, and titanium concentrate prices are weak but firm.
The market is stagnant with significant transaction pressure, and prices continue to be under pressure. Regarding imported ore, the imported ore market is chaotic, with a large price difference between high and low prices. The market is characterized by high prices but low sales volume, high port inventories, and the imported titanium ore market continues to weaken.
Titanium Slag
This month, the bidding price for 90% low-calcium magnesium high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was 5400 yuan/ton, a decrease of 50 yuan/ton compared to June. High-titanium slag faces significant cost pressures from raw materials and auxiliary materials, and the number of operating enterprises is low. High-titanium slag prices are temporarily weak and stable.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 5800-6000 yuan/ton. The overall titanium tetrachloride market is stable, with enterprises maintaining firm prices, and the market price remains stable.
Titanium Sponge
The price of titanium sponge remains stable for the time being. The mainstream price for grade 0 titanium sponge is around 46,000-47,000 yuan/ton, while the mainstream price for grade 1 titanium sponge (for civilian use) is around 45,000-46,000 yuan/ton. Shipments are weak, but the market operating rate remains high, resulting in a weak supply-demand balance. Cost factors are impacting the market, leading to a slightly firm but weak price trend.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 14812.48, down 93.02 from the previous working day. Some factories in the Panzhihua-Xichang region lowered their prices again today. The simultaneous weakening of raw material titanium ore and sulfuric acid prices has eased the pressure on titanium dioxide production costs, leading some factories to lower their prices.
The downstream market remains sluggish, with poor new order procurement. Chlorination process enterprises have also lowered their prices. The titanium dioxide market is weak, and prices continue to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
