I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index is 1836.25, unchanged from yesterday. Titanium ore prices have remained stable recently, with miners primarily fulfilling existing orders. With supply contracting, market prices are temporarily stable.
Titanium Slag
In December, the bidding price for high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was 5400 yuan/ton, a decrease of 50 yuan/ton compared to November. High raw material prices have put significant cost pressure on high-titanium slag, leading to low operating rates and a sluggish market.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 4800-5500 yuan/ton. Recently, chlorine prices have continued to rise, keeping titanium tetrachloride costs stable. Enterprise operating rates are generally stable, and market prices are temporarily stable.
Sponge Titanium
The price of Grade 1 sponge titanium for civilian use is around 45,000-47,000 yuan/ton, while the market price for Grade 0 sponge titanium is around 46,000-48,000 yuan/ton. Downstream market demand is relatively stable, with sponge titanium enterprises fulfilling existing orders, and market prices are temporarily stable.
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 13183.68, unchanged from yesterday. Domestic titanium dioxide factories have some orders on hand, and some factories have increased their stockpiling orders for this month. However, downstream users are mostly adopting a wait-and-see attitude. The bidding situation of major end-user manufacturers next month is still not fully determined. It is reported that the volume of chloride-process titanium dioxide will increase, leading to a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the market.
