Market price of titanium products (July 6)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1447.50, down 10.00 from the previous working day. New orders in the titanium ore market were weak, and prices for new orders were difficult to stabilize. Due to the delayed recovery of the Xinjiu tailings dam and the tightening of raw ore supply by Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group, market prices continued to decline, resulting in a generally weak titanium ore market. Regarding imported ore, downstream enterprises faced significant cost pressures, with companies purchasing high-priced raw materials under considerable pressure, making it difficult to alleviate losses on shipments, thus putting downward pressure on the titanium ore market.
Titanium Slag
In June, the bidding price for 90% low-calcium magnesium high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was 5450 yuan/ton, a slight increase of 50 yuan/ton compared to May. Raw material costs remained stable, the high-titanium slag market was firm, market operations were generally stable, and market prices remained stable for the time being.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 5800-6000 yuan/ton. Liquid chlorine prices rose slightly today, while cost prices remained stable. Overall, titanium tetrachloride producers maintained stable prices, and supply remained relatively stable, resulting in a temporarily stable market.
Sponge Titanium
The sponge titanium market remained weak and stable. The mainstream price for grade 0 sponge titanium was around 47,000-48,000 yuan/ton, while the mainstream price for grade 1 civilian sponge titanium was around 46,000-47,000 yuan/ton. Sponge titanium producers faced significant pressure to sell, and some had high inventory levels. Transaction prices for sponge titanium declined somewhat. Major manufacturers planned to reduce production in July, leading to a supply-demand imbalance and putting downward pressure on sponge titanium prices.
Titanium Dioxide
Today, the titanium dioxide price index was 16162.83, unchanged from the previous working day. The market remains in the traditional off-season, and the pressure to sell titanium dioxide remains high. Some low-priced transactions continued to decline, and market sentiment was generally pessimistic.
Competition in the titanium dioxide market remained intense, and short-term demand was unlikely to recover. The titanium dioxide market remained under pressure and prices continued to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
