Market Prices of Titanium Products — November 10

I. Titanium Market Overview

Titanium Ore

The Panxi titanium ore price index stood at 1,085.00 today, unchanged from yesterday. The domestic titanium ore market remained weak: capacity release in the main mining areas kept supply loose, actual transaction prices of some Panxi ore continued to edge lower, new-order signings met considerable resistance, and operating pressure on wet-beneficiation plants became more pronounced, leaving overall trading sentiment largely wait-and-see. The imported ore market also ran under pressure, with the spread between domestic and external prices squeezed to an extremely narrow level; downstream willingness to take delivery, however, stayed lukewarm, and the overall market remained locked in a weak standoff under oversupply.

Titanium Slag

This month the tender for 90% low-calcium, low-magnesium high-titanium slag from northern enterprises settled at RMB 4,990/t, down RMB 210/t from the previous round. With raw-material costs running high, production of high-grade slag is currently loss-making; prices sit at low levels and the market is under pressure. In the acid-grade slag market, downstream demand is soft, domestic shipping pressure is considerable, operating rates are relatively low and some inventory remains; the market is temporarily stable.

Titanium Tetrachloride

Titanium tetrachloride was quoted at RMB 5,600–6,000/t. With feedstock chlorine prices high and overall demand stable, producers held firm on new-order offers, and market prices largely moved sideways.

Titanium Sponge

Titanium sponge prices held steady at low levels: mainstream quotes for Grade 0 sponge stood at around RMB 41,000–43,000/t, while mainstream quotes for Grade 1 civilian-grade sponge were around RMB 40,000–42,000/t. Downstream demand remained sluggish and inventories stayed high; the market was weakly stable.

Titanium Dioxide

The titanium dioxide price index stood at 13,733.15 today, unchanged from yesterday. Industry operating rates remained relatively high, supply was ample and in-plant inventory destocking was slow; a few TiO2 producers are withholding quotations for now and most participants are on the sidelines. Downstream demand is in its low season — procurement consists mainly of small, need-based lots with a strong price-comparison mindset. Meanwhile export channels are impeded and volumes are flowing back into the domestic market, so prices are expected to remain under pressure in the short term.

II. Price Summary

III. Industry Operating Rates

Titanium Ore

Affected by environmental inspections, some mines and beneficiation plants cut back or suspended production; operating rates in the titanium ore market were insufficient.

Titanium Dioxide

TiO2 producers raised their production loads, and market operating rates stayed at a high level.

Titanium Sponge

Titanium sponge producers ran essentially at full capacity, with market operating rates high.
