Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1782.50, unchanged from yesterday. The titanium ore market is stable, with Panzhihua ore prices remaining high.

The titanium ore market is experiencing insufficient operating rates, and prices are expected to continue fluctuating at high levels.
Titanium Slag
In January, the bidding price for high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was 5400 yuan/ton, unchanged from December. High raw material prices have put significant cost pressure on high-titanium slag, leading to intense market competition and a slightly weak but currently stable price.

III. Industry Operating Rates
Titanium Ore
Road transportation in the Panzhihua-Xichang-Xinjiang-Jiujiang region has resumed, and increased raw material supply has boosted operating rates. However, due to mining permit issues in Yunnan and low temperatures in Chengde, domestic titanium ore production is generally insufficient.
Some companies have maintenance plans this month, resulting in high titanium dioxide operating rates.
Sponge Titanium
Sponge titanium companies are operating at high capacity.
