Titanium product market price (June 5)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1623.75, unchanged from yesterday. Operating rates at titanium ore beneficiation plants in the Panzhihua-Xichang region declined, raw material prices remained high and stable, and small and medium-sized mines faced higher costs, leading to price support in the market recently. Regarding imported ore, market inquiries were generally weak, with a strong wait-and-see attitude. High shipping costs created significant cost pressure, keeping prices stable.
Titanium Slag
High raw material costs led to mostly firm prices at slag plants. Some new orders in the market indicated a willingness to raise prices. Currently, northern enterprises have not yet started a new round of high-titanium slag bidding. High-titanium slag plants in Yunnan, which had previously suspended production, resumed operations, resulting in a slight increase in market operating rates. The acid slag market remained weak and stable, with continued market competition.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride was 5800-6000 yuan/ton. The price trend of raw material chlorine gas diverged, impacting costs differently. This month, some titanium tetrachloride enterprises raised prices by another 100 yuan/ton. Tight spot supply from enterprises kept market prices firm.
Titanium Sponge
The titanium sponge market remains stable for now. The mainstream price for grade 0 titanium sponge is 48,000-50,000 yuan/ton, while the mainstream price for grade 1 titanium sponge (for civilian use) is 47,000-49,000 yuan/ton. The market is operating at high capacity, and downstream companies still have inventory to deplete. New orders remain sluggish, putting significant pressure on high-priced transactions, and companies are maintaining firm prices.
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 16716.17, unchanged from yesterday. Today, Longbai Group issued a letter raising its titanium dioxide price by 1000 yuan/ton, while international prices increased by 150 USD/ton. Longbai's price increase is mainly due to the high cost of raw materials sulfur and sulfuric acid. Sulfur prices have continued to rise to new highs, and coupled with recent surges in shipping costs, factories are under considerable pressure.
The market's willingness to raise prices is strong, but weak demand during the off-season is somewhat constraining this. The market is characterized by a strong supply-demand game, and titanium dioxide prices are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

III. Industry Operating Rates
Titanium Ore
High raw material ore costs, coupled with the impending arrival of environmental inspection teams, have led to a continued decline in the operating rates of concentrators in the Panzhihua-Xichang-Xinjiang-Jiujiang region. In Xinjiang, some mines have temporarily suspended production due to inspections by the central government's environmental supervision team.
Affected by raw material costs and supply, some companies have reduced production, but overall market operating rates remain high.
