Market price of titanium products (June 11)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1623.75, unchanged from yesterday. Downstream demand is weak, putting pressure on new titanium ore orders. Some market prices have declined. High titanium ore inventories in the Panzhihua-Xichang region have led to a supply surplus and weak prices. Regarding imported ore, weak downstream demand has resulted in a weak supply-demand balance in the imported titanium ore market. Domestic titanium ore prices remain firm, and the imported titanium ore market is also temporarily stable. Increased costs for beneficiation plants are keeping prices mostly firm.
Titanium Slag
This month, northern enterprises began a new round of bidding for high-titanium slag. This bidding is for 90% low-calcium-magnesium high-titanium slag, with a quantity of 4,000 tons. Due to high raw material costs, slag plants are mostly holding firm on prices, and it is reported that prices have been slightly increased again. The acid slag market is operating steadily and weakly. With the arrival of the high-water season in June, electricity prices in Yunnan and Panzhihua have slightly decreased, putting pressure on acid slag prices. Market demand is high, and acid slag enterprises in Yunnan have suspended production.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 5800-6000 yuan/ton. Recently, raw material costs have adjusted, but factory production costs remain high. The titanium tetrachloride market is still operating below capacity, and the volume of external sales is limited. Therefore, the price of titanium tetrachloride is temporarily stable.
Sponge Titanium
The market price for sponge titanium is stable. The mainstream price for grade 0 sponge titanium is 48,000-50,000 yuan/ton, while the mainstream price for grade 1 civilian sponge titanium is 47,000-49,000 yuan/ton. Due to the off-season demand, there is significant pressure to ship sponge titanium. In addition, downstream enterprises are stockpiling, leading to a wait-and-see attitude in the market. The sponge titanium market is temporarily stable.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 16716.17, unchanged from yesterday. Domestic port sulfur prices continue to surge, rising to 11,000-12,000 yuan/ton. Market expectations for further price increases are strong, and the price increase is excessive.
Titanium dioxide factories are adjusting the proportion of sulfuric acid used. With titanium ore prices declining, cost pressures remain significant, making it difficult for titanium dioxide companies to improve their shipment situation. The market remains weak and stable, with titanium dioxide prices continuing to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

III. Industry Operating Rates
Titanium Ore
Raw material costs are high, and the upcoming arrival of environmental inspection teams has led to a decrease in the operating rate of beneficiation plants in the Panzhihua-Xichang-Xinjiang-Jiujiang region. In Chengde, some beneficiation plants have suspended production due to inspections by the central environmental inspection team. In Xinjiang, mines that had suspended production will gradually resume normal operations after the central environmental inspection team's inspections have concluded.
Affected by raw material costs and supply, some companies have reduced production, but the overall market operating rate remains high.
