The domestic titanium ore market remains subdued, with new transactions concluding weakly and prices continuing their downward trajectory. Some low-priced cargoes have changed hands in the market, reflecting persistent buyer caution. In the imported ore segment, pressure persists as low-priced offers continue to emerge, creating a chaotic pricing environment. Mineral suppliers face significant inventory pressure, keeping the imported titanium ore market on a weak footing.<\/p>\n
In July, the tender price for 90% low-calcium, low-magnesium high-titanium slag from northern producers settled at 801.42 USD\/ton, down 7.42 USD\/ton from June’s level. High-titanium slag producers are grappling with substantial cost pressures from raw materials and auxiliary inputs, which has limited the number of operating plants. Consequently, high-titanium slag prices remain tentatively stable but fragile.<\/p>\n
The titanium tetrachloride market is quoted in the range of 861.07 to 890.61 USD\/ton. Overall, the market remains broadly stable. Recent raw material costs have been relatively steady, exerting minimal influence on pricing. With external sales volumes from titanium tetrachloride producers staying limited, the market is expected to continue its steady course in the near term.<\/p>\n
The sponge titanium market continues to operate weakly. Grade 0 sponge titanium is predominantly quoted at around 6681.02 USD\/ton, while Grade 1 civilian-grade material is mainly offered at approximately 6530.21 USD\/ton. Shipment activity remains sluggish, and this month some plants have implemented modest output reductions. Supply continues to weigh on the market, with prices staying weak and steady.<\/p>\n
The titanium dioxide price index stood at 2179 today, down 6 points from the previous day. Operating rates across the titanium dioxide sector remain elevated overall, though major producers have trimmed output due to equipment and raw material constraints. Many small and medium-sized plants continue to run at insufficient capacity. Demand remains deeply depressed, offering little support for prices. A number of concluded transactions have seen further price declines, and the titanium dioxide market is maintaining its weak stance.<\/p>\n
