Market price of titanium products (July 15)
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.
Small and medium-sized miners are inclined to hold firm on prices. The titanium dioxide market is sluggish, and new orders are being purchased cautiously, resulting in weak and stable titanium ore prices. Regarding imported ore, imported titanium ore companies have some inventory, leading to higher production costs for beneficiation plants. The market is under pressure due to declining downstream product prices, and new order shipments 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. According to market news, the bidding price for 90% low-calcium-magnesium high-titanium slag may decrease this month.
The price of chloride-process titanium ore has also decreased this month, leading to an oversupply in the titanium raw material market. The cost of high-titanium slag has decreased, and the market supply has been stable recently. Downstream markets for chlorinated titanium dioxide and sponge titanium have declined, resulting in a decrease in both supply and demand for high-titanium slag, leading to a weakening market price.
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. Companies continue to hold their prices steady.
Sponge Titanium
Sponge titanium prices are 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 15831.12, down 45.04 from yesterday. During the traditional off-season, the market faces significant pressure to ship new titanium dioxide orders, leading to intense competition among companies.
Recently, prices for some titanium dioxide grades have continued to decline. Overall market inventory pressure is high, and the market is largely awaiting new policies from leading companies. Titanium dioxide prices are temporarily weak and stable, with transactions remaining on a case-by-case basis.
