Titanium Market Report (February 4)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index is 1775.00, down 7.50 from yesterday. With the holiday approaching, new order trading is weak, and transportation is gradually decreasing. The bargaining sentiment between supply and demand remains strong, leading to a slight weakening of some Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore prices.
Titanium Slag
In February, the bidding price for 90% low-calcium magnesium high-grade slag from northern enterprises was 5300 yuan/ton, a decrease of 100 yuan/ton from January. The downstream market is sluggish, and coupled with the holiday effect, slag plants in Yunnan are gradually entering the holiday period, resulting in a decline in the operating rate of the high-grade slag market in February.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 4800-5550 yuan/ton. The titanium tetrachloride market is currently stable, with a slight decrease in new order transactions, and the market price remains stable.
Titanium Sponge
Grade 1 titanium sponge for civilian use is quoted at around 45,000-47,000 RMB/ton, while Grade 0 titanium sponge is quoted at around 46,000-48,000 RMB/ton. Companies have stable order backlogs, and market prices remain stable, resulting in a temporarily stable titanium sponge market.
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 13490.03, unchanged from yesterday. Market order transactions are gradually weakening, with some titanium dioxide companies having already closed orders. Pre-holiday stockpiling is also nearing its end, and the market is generally stable. New production capacity is planned to be released in the first quarter.
II. Titanium Price Summary
III. Industry Operating Rates
Titanium Ore
Raw material supply in the Panxi region is tight, leading to insufficient operating rates at beneficiation plants. In Yunnan, only a few beneficiation plants are operating due to mining permit issues. Low temperatures in Chengde have resulted in overall insufficient operating rates for domestic titanium ore.
Some companies have maintenance plans, leading to a decline in expected titanium dioxide operating rates.
Titanium Sponge
Titanium sponge companies are operating at high rates.
