Market price of titanium products (July 24)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1398.75, unchanged from yesterday. The titanium ore market continues its sluggish trend, with new orders remaining stagnant. Titanium ore beneficiation plants are operating below capacity, prices are weak and stable, and some market participants remain bearish on the future. Regarding imported ore, port inventories continue to rise, competition among enterprises is fierce, downstream demand is declining, and export pressure remains high, keeping the market sluggish.
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. With insufficient market operation, high-titanium slag prices remain low, and the market is temporarily stable. The price of new orders for acid slag continues to decline. Downstream demand has shrunk, and coupled with a decrease in costs, acid slag prices in Sichuan have fallen.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 5800-6000 yuan/ton. Overall, the supply of titanium tetrachloride is not high, supply and demand are basically balanced, and enterprise prices remain stable.
Titanium Sponge
The price of titanium sponge remained weak and 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. Downstream demand remained weak, and titanium sponge manufacturers had large shipments, making it difficult to transact at high prices, resulting in continued low prices.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index was 15767.44, unchanged from yesterday. The titanium dioxide market price is becoming increasingly chaotic, with some prices continuing to decline slightly. Domestic trade is unlikely to improve in the short term. This month, most factories have reduced or suspended production, leading to a decline in market operating rates.
Overall, the pressure on new order transactions remains high, and market price competition continues to be fierce. The market is hesitant to accept prices from leading companies, and according to market news, prices are expected to decline further.
