I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1396.25, down 2.50 from the previous working day. Downstream titanium dioxide production declined, leading to strong downward pressure on titanium ore purchases. Miners faced increasing pressure to sell, resulting in further price reductions at some low levels. Regarding imported ore, shipments remained weak, with downstream buyers showing strong resistance to price increases, leading to a stalemate and continued market weakness.
Titanium Slag
