Market price of titanium products (July 20)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1406.25, unchanged from the previous working day. The titanium ore market is generally weak, with downstream procurement costs under pressure and miners still facing significant pressure to sell, resulting in a weak market. Regarding imported ore, weak demand has hindered transactions, leading to continued price declines. Port prices for some raw materials have also decreased, resulting in losses for miners. The market is weak on both fronts, maintaining its weak performance.
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. While the price of high-titanium slag saw a slight decrease this month, costs for auxiliary materials and electricity remain high, and regional differences exist, resulting in significant cost pressure for high-titanium slag. The market is expected to remain weak and stable in the short term.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 5800-6000 yuan/ton. Overall, sales volume for titanium tetrachloride enterprises is low, maintaining a balance between supply and demand, and enterprise prices remain firm.
Titanium Sponge
The titanium sponge market remained stable. The mainstream price for grade 0 titanium sponge was around 46,000-47,000 yuan/ton, while the mainstream price for grade 1 titanium sponge (for civilian use) was around 45,000-46,000 yuan/ton. While high prices saw some reductions, some companies experienced increased order inquiries. Overall, titanium sponge factory prices remained firm, and prices continued to trend weakly but remained stable over time.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index was 15767.44, down 63.68 from the previous working day. Domestic sales faced significant pressure, with some factories holding high inventories. Price competition among companies remained fierce, with some factories lowering prices by 300-500 yuan/ton today. The titanium dioxide market was stable but weakening.
The international market received some support, with a significant increase in exports of chloride-process titanium dioxide. The supply-demand game in the titanium dioxide market intensified, and market prices remained chaotic, with transactions continuing to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
