Market price of titanium products (July 22)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1398.75, down 7.50 from yesterday. The titanium ore market continued its sluggish trend, with downstream buyers exerting strong downward pressure on prices, resulting in stagnant market transactions and prices trending slightly lower. Regarding imported ore, port inventory pressure remains high, competition among enterprises is fierce, and both supply and demand are weak, leading to a weak and stable imported titanium ore market.
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 such as 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 was 5800-6000 yuan/ton. Liquid chlorine prices fluctuated downwards, while titanium tetrachloride enterprises maintained stable prices. Downstream demand remained basically stable, and the market continued to hold steady.
Titanium Sponge
The price of titanium sponge 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. New orders remained under pressure, and some companies faced significant inventory pressure. Overall, the market remained high, and titanium sponge prices temporarily stabilized.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index was 15767.44, unchanged from yesterday. The price of raw material sulfuric acid has recently seen a slight correction, but prices remain high, putting significant cost pressure on titanium dioxide plants.
Titanium dioxide prices remain chaotic, and inventory continues to rise. The market is largely awaiting price announcements from leading companies, resulting in a strong wait-and-see attitude among enterprises. Shipments in the titanium dioxide market remain under pressure, and the market maintains a case-by-case negotiation approach.
