Titanium Market Trends & Price Analysis
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1472.50, unchanged from yesterday. The titanium ore market remained weak and stable. Small and medium-sized miners, facing tight raw material procurement, maintained a willingness to hold prices.
Large mills in Panzhihua faced significant inventory pressure, leading to fierce competition for supply and stagnant market transactions. Downstream titanium dioxide producers experienced increasing cost pressures, further weakening the titanium ore market. Regarding imported ore, importers had some inventory, and downstream enterprises showed weak willingness to purchase raw materials, resulting in strong downward pressure on prices and continued pressure to sell.
Titanium Slag
This month, the bidding price for 90% low-calcium magnesium high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was 5450 yuan/ton, a slight increase of 50 yuan/ton compared to May. Despite significant production cost pressures, high-titanium slag prices remained firm and stable.
The market price for titanium tetrachloride was 5800-6000 yuan/ton. Chlorine prices remained volatile, providing some support for costs. The spot market remained tight, and titanium tetrachloride prices continued to hold steady.
