Market price of titanium products (July 14)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1408.75, unchanged from yesterday. Raw material costs are high, and the operating rate of Panzhihua-Xichang water beneficiation plants remains low, with only a few companies maintaining production. Downstream titanium dioxide producers are facing significant cost pressures, and factories have some inventory, further reducing their enthusiasm for purchasing raw material titanium ore.
The titanium ore market remains sluggish. Regarding imported ore, imported titanium ore companies have some inventory, and beneficiation plant production costs are high. The market is under pressure due to declining downstream product prices, and new orders remain weak, resulting in overall weak and stable prices.
Titanium Slag
This month, northern companies began a new round of bidding for high-titanium slag. The bidding quantity for 90% low-calcium-magnesium high-titanium slag is 4,000 tons, and the bidding quantity for 87% titanium-rich slag is 6,000 tons.
Recently, titanium raw material prices have been weak and stable, with both supply and demand weak. The overall operating rate remains low, and the market is in a wait-and-see mode. Titanium slag prices face significant upward and downward pressure.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 5800-6000 yuan/ton. Overall supply remains tight, and downstream demand is generally stable, providing some support for the price. Enterprises continue to hold their prices steady.
Sponge Titanium
The price of sponge titanium is currently stable. The mainstream price for grade 0 sponge titanium is around 47,000-48,000 yuan/ton, while the mainstream price for grade 1 civilian sponge titanium is around 46,000-47,000 yuan/ton. Some large sponge titanium manufacturers have reduced production, slightly easing market supply pressure. However, the market supply and demand relationship remains unbalanced, and prices are temporarily remaining weak and stable.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 15876.15, unchanged from yesterday. During the traditional off-season, the market faces significant pressure to fulfill new orders. Some factories in the Panzhihua area have begun to reduce production this week, while large factories are maintaining high operating rates.
This month, the titanium dioxide market operating rate is around 80%, leading to increased factory inventory and further intensifying pressure on enterprises. The market is largely in a wait-and-see mode, and titanium dioxide prices are temporarily weak and stable, with transactions remaining on a case-by-case basis.
