With the downstream market operating weakly, the pressure of high-priced shipments of titanium ore is increasing, leading to a slight downward adjustment of high-position quotations by some enterprises, resulting in a chaotic titanium ore market. Due to environmental inspections, the supply of titanium ore in Yunnan has decreased, temporarily stabilizing market prices. The high slag market is temporarily stable: in April, the tender price of the high slag market was stable month-on-month, and market demand was basically stable, maintaining steady market prices. In the Sichuan region, affected by environmental inspections, acid slag manufacturers have temporarily ceased production, and supply has decreased due to technological transformation plans in some factories.

The downstream market is operating at a high level, with high titanium ore prices putting considerable cost pressure on downstream enterprises. This has led to a strong sentiment for price reduction among enterprises. In the titanium ore market in Yunnan and Chengde, transactions are relatively weak due to the high prices.
