Titanium Market Repor (12 janvier)

I. Titanium Market Overview

Titanium Ore

Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1795.00, unchanged from the previous working day. With the reopening of the Xinjiu section of the Panzhihua-Xichang railway, beneficiation plants are gradually resuming production, increasing the supply of raw materials. Medium-sized mines have raised their prices, while smaller mines are mostly observing the market, resulting in a temporary price stability.

Titanium Slag

In January, the bidding price for high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was 5400 yuan/ton, unchanged from December. High electricity and other auxiliary material costs this month have kept high-titanium slag prices low, leading to a pessimistic market sentiment and persistently low operating rates. Acid slag prices have increased for some new orders due to cost factors, but downstream demand is strong, resulting in a supply-demand tug-of-war.

Titanium Tetrachloride

The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 4800-5550 yuan/ton. Raw material costs remain stable, and the supply and demand of titanium tetrachloride are in tight balance. Enterprises are maintaining firm prices, with some transactions negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

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. Raw material prices have collectively risen. Last Friday, Yunnan Guotai issued a letter raising domestic prices for titanium sponge by 2,000 yuan/ton and international prices by 300 USD/ton. Cost pressures are significant, leading to strong market sentiment for price increases. Some titanium sponge prices may see slight increases in the future.

Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 13424.70, unchanged from the previous working day. High raw material prices, good export data, and weak domestic demand continue to put pressure on titanium dioxide. Prices for some transactions are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, and the titanium dioxide market remains stable.

III. Industry Operating Rates

Titanium Ore

The recovery of road transportation in the Panzhihua-Xichang-Xinjiang-Jiujiang region and increased raw material supply have boosted operating rates. However, due to issues with mining permits in Yunnan and low temperatures in Chengde, domestic titanium ore operating rates are generally insufficient.

Titanium Dioxide

Previously shut-down plants have resumed production, and a few companies still have maintenance plans this month, resulting in high operating rates for titanium dioxide production.

Sponge Titanium

Sponge titanium companies are operating at high rates.
