August 18 Titanium Product Market Quotes

I. Titanium Market Overview

Titanium Ore

Today, the Panxi titanium ore price index stands at 1,261.25, flat compared to yesterday. Recently, Panxi ore market prices have gradually firmed up. Raw material supply remains tight, beneficiation plants have suffered from severe long-term price inversion, and market inventory has declined sharply and continuously. Some ore merchants have growing expectations for price increases. However, the downstream titanium dioxide market remains sluggish, and the market is largely waiting to see the moves of leading enterprises. The titanium ore market is locked in a stalemate.

On the import side, the downstream market is sluggish while overall operating rates remain high. The supply-demand relationship for titanium raw materials is gradually easing. Import ore quotes remain somewhat chaotic, with most merchants adopting a wait-and-see attitude, and import ore prices are temporarily stable.

Titanium Slag

In July, the tender price for 90% low-calcium-magnesium high-titanium slag by northern enterprises was 5,400 RMB/ton, down 50 RMB/ton from June. In August, northern enterprises have not yet launched a new round of bidding. As downstream market operating rates recover, high-titanium slag demand has improved somewhat. Slag plant prices remain stable, and the market as a whole is running steadily.
