October 19 Titanium Product Market Quotes

I. Titanium Market Overview

Today, the Panxi titanium ore price index stood at 1,193.75, flat compared to the previous working day. The overall market showed a weak and stable stalemate. On the domestic ore side, small and medium miners maintained firm prices, but downstream procurement releases were limited, mostly relying on low-price replenishment as needed. Actual trading was thin, and prices remained weakly stable. On the import ore side, ample supply combined with high port inventories exerted significant pressure on overall prices, and market sentiment remained cautious.

The titanium slag market maintained low-level weak stability. Constrained by sluggish downstream demand, overall trading activity was lackluster. Meanwhile, raw and auxiliary material costs remained firm, and producers mostly held prices under pressure, with supply and demand locked in a standoff.

Titanium Tetrachloride

Titanium tetrachloride market quotes were at 5,800-6,000 yuan/ton, and the market continued its stable trend. Enterprise operating loads remained steady, and market supply was relatively stable. Supported by high costs on the raw material side, manufacturers' quotes remained firm. Downstream maintained rigid-demand procurement, and the supply-demand pattern was temporarily stable.

Currently, mainstream quotes for grade 1 sponge titanium for civilian use were around 42,000-44,000 yuan/ton.

Titanium Dioxide

Today, the titanium dioxide price index was 14,117.76, flat compared to the previous working day. The industry's overall operating rate remained at high levels, but market fundamentals remained under pressure.

Additionally, some manufacturers' inventory destocking pace was slow, and quotes were adjusted slightly downward.
