Titanium Market Report (January 28)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index is 1782.50, unchanged from yesterday. Recently, titanium ore production has been stable, with miners mostly fulfilling pre-holiday orders. Downstream costs are under significant pressure, leading to continued strong price pressure, and new order transactions are somewhat stagnant.
Titanium Slag
In February, the bidding price for 90% low-calcium magnesium slag from northern enterprises was 5300 yuan/ton, a decrease of 100 yuan/ton compared to January. Due to reduced raw material cost pressures, slag prices are under downward pressure. Currently, domestic supply remains ample, and the slag market is in a weak balance, with prices trending slightly lower.
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 4800-5550 yuan/ton. High raw material costs have led titanium tetrachloride producers to maintain firm prices. Due to reduced market supply and low inventory, market prices continue to remain stable.
Titanium Sponge
Grade 1 titanium sponge for civilian use is quoted at around 45,000-47,000 yuan/ton, while Grade 0 titanium sponge is quoted at around 46,000-48,000 yuan/ton. Demand for titanium sponge is stable, with production and sales basically balanced, keeping prices firm.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 13490.03, unchanged from yesterday. Titanium dioxide producers are holding steady, but weak domestic demand is providing insufficient support to the market. With the Spring Festival holiday approaching, the market is gradually completing its stockpiling, and new orders are being placed cautiously, resulting in overall stable titanium dioxide prices.
