Market price of titanium products (July 7)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1427.50, down 20.00 from yesterday. Major mills continued to lower prices this month, market shipments remained sluggish, and new orders continued their downward trend. Due to the delayed recovery of the Xinjiu tailings ore silos and the tightening of raw ore supply by Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group, medium-grade ore prices remained firm, while downstream demand was weak, resulting in a weak market.
Regarding imported ore, downstream enterprises faced significant cost pressures, new orders remained stagnant, and the supply-demand game was intense. Enterprises' losses were difficult to alleviate, 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-grade slag market remained firm, market operations were basically 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 continue to fluctuate, while cost prices remain stable. Overall, titanium tetrachloride producers are maintaining stable prices, and supply is generally stable, resulting in a temporarily stable market.
Sponge Titanium
The sponge titanium market is weakly stable. The mainstream price for grade 0 sponge titanium is around 47,000-48,000 yuan/ton, while the mainstream price for grade 1 civilian sponge titanium is around 46,000-47,000 yuan/ton. Sponge titanium producers are facing significant pressure to sell, with some companies having high inventory levels. Transaction prices have declined somewhat. Major manufacturers have plans to reduce production in July, leading to a supply-demand imbalance and putting downward pressure on sponge titanium prices.
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 16162.83, unchanged from yesterday. During the traditional off-season, titanium dioxide producers are still facing significant sales pressure.
Some factories continue to increase their inventory, and coupled with the market downturn, sulfuric acid process titanium dioxide producers are under considerable pressure. The market is under pressure, and prices continue to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
