Market price of titanium products (July 29)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1396.25, unchanged from yesterday. Downstream titanium dioxide prices declined, putting significant pressure on raw material costs for enterprises. The supply-demand game in the titanium ore market continues, and the market remains weak.
Regarding imported ore, shipments remain sluggish, downstream buyers are resistant to price increases, and purchasing intentions are weak. Processing plants continue to operate at a loss, and enterprises are generally bearish on the future market, resulting in a temporarily weak and stable price.
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. Market operating rates are insufficient, and high-titanium slag prices remain low, resulting in a temporarily stable market. The acid slag market remains sluggish, with overall demand being low, and operating rates will also remain at a low level.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 5800-6000 yuan/ton. Titanium tetrachloride enterprises are maintaining stable prices. Downstream operating rates are high, and overall demand is relatively good, leading to continued stability in the titanium tetrachloride market.
Sponge Titanium
The sponge titanium market remained stable. The mainstream price for grade 0 sponge titanium was around 46,000-47,000 yuan/ton, while the mainstream price for grade 1 civilian sponge titanium was around 45,000-46,000 yuan/ton. Cost prices remained firm, and sponge titanium enterprises maintained high overall operating rates. The market saw a supply-demand struggle, resulting in prices remaining stagnant and firm.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index was 14905.50, down 263.20 from yesterday. Following yesterday's price adjustment by leading companies, some sulfuric acid and chloride process enterprises followed suit with slight price reductions of around 300-500 yuan/ton. Sulfuric acid prices, despite the decline, remained high, and sulfuric acid process plants continued to face significant production pressure.
This round of market price adjustments was limited. Chlorination process capacity release increased, leading to fierce competition among enterprises. Some enterprises still anticipated price adjustments, resulting in price differentiation in the titanium dioxide market, with transactions remaining negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
