Market price of titanium products (June 15)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1528.75, unchanged from the previous working day. The titanium ore market continued its weak trend. Domestic titanium ore supply was ample, coupled with high inventory levels at some factories, and downstream procurement costs continued to put downward pressure on prices, keeping titanium ore prices weak.
Some transaction prices remained stable or slightly lower. Regarding imported ore, downstream demand remained sluggish, making it difficult for miners to improve their shipments. Market competition was fierce, transaction prices were chaotic, and price differences were large, maintaining a weak market trend.
Titanium Slag
This month, 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. With raw material and auxiliary material costs remaining high, high-titanium slag enterprises faced significant pressure. The market actively maintained prices, and under the influence of costs, the high-titanium slag market temporarily remained stable.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 5800-6000 yuan/ton. Liquid chlorine prices rebounded again today, with regional increases mostly between 200-300 yuan/ton. Enterprises are facing significant cost pressures, and the supply of titanium tetrachloride remains tight, keeping market prices firm.
Sponge Titanium
The market price for sponge titanium is currently 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. Downstream demand is weak, new orders for sponge titanium are generally low, and shipments have not improved. The supply and demand dynamics are strong, and market prices continue to remain stable.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 16563.86, unchanged from the previous working day. Today, sulfur prices plummeted from their highs, but sulfuric acid prices remained high, putting significant cost pressure on titanium dioxide.
The titanium dioxide market operating rate was high this month, and current factory inventory pressure is not high. However, with continued sluggish new orders, factory inventories are expected to increase later, putting continued pressure on the market. Most companies are adopting a wait-and-see approach, resulting in weak titanium dioxide transactions and prices remaining negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

III. Industry Operating Rates
Titanium Ore
Major plants in the Panzhihua-Xichang region suspended external shipments of raw ore this month. High raw material ore costs, coupled with the impact of environmental inspections, have led to a decrease in the operating rate of beneficiation plants in the Xinjiu area of Panzhihua-Xichang. In Chengde, some beneficiation plants have suspended production due to inspections by the central environmental supervision team.
Affected by raw material costs and supply, some companies have reduced production, but the overall market operating rate remains high.
