I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1391.25, down 5.00 from yesterday. The titanium ore market remained weak, with continued pressure on new order transactions. Prices continued to decline within a narrow range, and miners were operating at a loss, leading to a generally pessimistic market sentiment.
Regarding imported ore, beneficiation plants were operating below capacity, resulting in generally sluggish market shipments. Traders and other companies reduced their stockpiles, leading to chaotic pricing in the imported ore market. Transaction prices continued to decline, and market price spreads widened, maintaining the weak market trend.
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 remained low, and the market temporarily stabilized. The acid slag market remained sluggish, with overall market demand being low, and operating rates expected to remain low.
