Titanium Product Market Quotation(Oct 26)

TDD - Titanium Daily

I. Titanium Market Overview

Today, the Panxi titanium ore price index stood at 1,177.50, down 10 from the previous working day. Titanium ore prices were generally reduced by 30-50 yuan/ton. The titanium ore market was overall weak, with small and medium concentrators facing cost inversions and low operating rates. Small and medium miners faced significantly increased shipment pressure, compounded by sluggish downstream demand and lackluster new order growth. Low-priced supply transactions increased, and prices trended weakly stable. Imported titanium ore inventory remained high, and actual transaction prices were under pressure due to domestic market influence, with transactions mostly negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

The Southwest 85% low-calcium-magnesium high-titanium slag tender price continued at 4,850 yuan/ton. Slag plant operating rates remained low, downstream enterprises still had inventory to digest, and oversupply pressure continued to suppress prices. The acid slag market remained weakly stable, with subdued trading activity, low production loads, and weak downstream demand support.

Titanium Tetrachloride

Titanium tetrachloride was quoted at 5,800-6,000 yuan/ton. Today, the raw material liquid chlorine price rose by 50-100 yuan/ton, strengthening cost support. Mainstream enterprises maintained stable operations, and spot supply was relatively tight. Downstream chloride-process titanium white and sponge titanium purchased as needed, with transactions primarily based on long-term contracts.

Sponge Titanium

The sponge titanium market continued to decline, with the transaction center of gravity shifting downward overall. The mainstream quotation for Grade 0 sponge titanium was around 41,000-43,000 yuan/ton, and the mainstream quotation for Grade 1 sponge titanium for civilian use was around 40,000-42,000 yuan/ton. Downstream demand was sluggish, high-price shipments faced significant pressure, and sponge titanium prices struggled to stabilize. New order prices saw significant declines, and the overall market remained weak.

Titanium White Pigment

Today, the titanium white pigment price index was 14,051.53, flat compared to the previous working day. Titanium white market quotations remained stable, though the center of gravity for some new orders shifted downward, and price gaps among factories gradually widened. Demand was sluggish, with limited new order growth. As previously held orders were delivered, some factories faced increasing inventory pressure. Core raw materials such as titanium ore and sulfuric acid saw price declines, weakening cost floor support.

 Additionally, India reimposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese titanium white pigment, with rates ranging from 460 to 681 USD/ton, adding another trade barrier on the export side. Some market participants held weak expectations, supply-demand imbalance pressure intensified, and titanium white prices are expected to remain under pressure going forward.
