Titanium Market Report (April 10)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1701.25, unchanged from yesterday. Domestic titanium ore supply exceeds demand, and high-priced transactions are weak, further suppressing market sentiment. The market awaits new price announcements from major Panzhihua-Xichang producers, and the titanium ore market remains weak.
Titanium Slag
Today, the titanium slag market is temporarily stable. High costs are dragging down production, resulting in losses for titanium slag producers and low operating rates. Supply and demand are imbalanced, leading to a weak and stable market. Northern producers began a new round of bidding today, with a tender volume of 4,000 tons. Under pressure from high costs, the market hopes for price increases and is currently awaiting news of northern bidding prices.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The titanium tetrachloride market is currently in a tight supply-demand balance, with persistently low inventory levels. Producers are maintaining firm prices, and shipments are smooth. The market is expected to remain stable in the short term.
Titanium Sponge
The titanium sponge market remained stable today. The mainstream price for Grade 1 titanium sponge (civilian grade) was 46,000-47,000 yuan/ton, and for Grade 0 it was 47,000-48,000 yuan/ton. Titanium sponge producers are operating at high capacity, resulting in ample supply. High costs are supporting firm prices. New orders are stable, but demand is limited. Titanium sponge prices are expected to remain stable.
Today's titanium dioxide price index was 160,147.62, unchanged from yesterday. Yesterday, major suppliers like Dahutong and Fangyuan raised titanium dioxide prices by 1,000 yuan/ton. The Middle East situation has caused prices of raw materials such as sulfur and sulfuric acid to continue rising, providing strong cost support. Some companies are also considering further price increases. However, as prices continue to rise, downstream buyers are cautious about chasing higher prices, exhibiting a strong wait-and-see attitude. The overall supply and demand in the titanium dioxide market is tight, making it easier for prices to rise than fall. Titanium dioxide prices are expected to continue to rise.
