Market price of titanium products (June 4)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1623.75, unchanged from yesterday. According to market news, the Sichuan Provincial Environmental Protection Team will conduct environmental inspections of tailings ponds in Panzhihua.
Some beneficiation plants in the Xinjiu area have gradually suspended production, reducing the supply of raw materials. Miners are further stabilizing prices, and the titanium ore market is temporarily stable. Regarding imported ore, market inquiries are generally weak, with a strong wait-and-see attitude. High shipping costs are putting significant cost pressure on prices, keeping them stable.
Titanium Slag
High raw material costs have led to mostly firm prices at slag plants. Some new orders in the market are expected to see price increases. Currently, northern companies have not yet started a new round of bidding for high-titanium slag. High-titanium slag plants in Yunnan, which had suspended production earlier this month, have resumed operations, improving market activity. The acid slag market remains weak and stable, with continued competitive pressure.
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 5800-6000 yuan/ton. The price of raw material chlorine is showing mixed trends, impacting costs differently. This month, some titanium tetrachloride companies have raised prices by another 100 yuan/ton. Spot supply is tight, and market prices remain firm.
Sponge Titanium
The sponge titanium market is generally stable. The mainstream price for grade 0 sponge titanium is 48,000-50,000 yuan/ton. Currently, the mainstream price for grade 1 sponge titanium (for civilian use) is 47,000-49,000 yuan/ton. Downstream civilian markets are maintaining just-in-time restocking, with new orders stagnating. Cost factors are keeping sponge titanium prices stable.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 16716.17, unchanged from yesterday. Raw material production costs are high, and the high prices of sulfur and sulfuric acid are unlikely to decrease. Titanium dioxide procurement is under significant pressure, and many companies are adopting a wait-and-see approach. Off-season demand is somewhat pressured, but some companies still have orders to support them. The market is clearly in a supply-demand game, and titanium dioxide prices are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

III. Industry Operating Rates
Titanium Ore
High raw material ore costs, coupled with the impending arrival of environmental inspection teams, have led to a continued decline in the operating rates of concentrators in the Panzhihua-Xichang-Xinjiang-Jiujiang region. In Xinjiang, some mines have temporarily suspended production due to inspections by the central government's environmental supervision team.
Affected by raw material costs and supply, some companies have reduced production, but overall market operating rates remain high.
