钛市场行情更新

The titanium market shows mixed trends across segments. Titanium ore prices declined slightly to 1837.50 on the Panzhihua-Xichang index amid weak downstream demand and limited new orders, with miners under selling pressure. High-titanium slag bids rose marginally to 5450 yuan/ton in the north, but overall market activity remains stable with sufficient supply. Titanium tetrachloride prices hold at 4800–5300 yuan/ton despite rising production costs, as weak demand prevents hikes. Titanium sponge stays firm at 45,000–48,000 yuan/ton, supported by solid production and sales. In contrast, titanium dioxide prices surged, with the index reaching 13,183.68, up 123.66, driven by Longbai Group’s 500 yuan/ton increase and broader price adjustments. Market players await major end-user bidding results, with order volumes expected to soften at higher levels. Operating rates are high for titanium dioxide and sponge producers, while ore beneficiation plants face constraints due to raw material shortages.
