SMM News on June 17: According to SMM, on June 11, a certain titanium sponge enterprise raised its offer by another 2,000 yuan/mt. Currently in the market, the offer for Grade 1 titanium sponge stands at 50,000-51,000 yuan/mt, while the offer for Grade 0 titanium sponge is at 53,000-54,000 yuan/mt.

The current titanium sponge market exhibits characteristics of structural differentiation. Demand for high-end orders in sectors such as aerospace, military industry, etc., maintains a relatively high growth rate, and the supply gap for premium products like small-particle titanium sponge and Grade 1 titanium sponge has widened. Influenced by this, the premium space for high-end titanium sponge has expanded. Correspondingly, the chemical market is experiencing weak demand, resulting in negative feedback upwards, leading to a decrease in procurement orders for the titanium plate market and a downward adjustment in the offers for pure titanium thick plates. Overall, under the dual influence of steady high-end demand and tight spot resources, the market offers for titanium sponge remain firm, but downstream procurement tends to be more rational. Market participants continue to closely monitor the dynamic evolution of the supply-demand relationship.

[SMM Titanium Weekly Review: Cost-Driven Titanium Dioxide Price Hikes Took Effect, Market Adjustments Released Upward Signals] This week, the titanium industry chain showed a divergent trend. The titanium concentrate market remained in the doldrums, with imported ore prices falling लगातार under pressure from downstream efforts to push for lower prices and accumulating port inventory. Titanium dioxide, meanwhile, saw the second round of collective price adjustments in mid-month under persistently high sulphuric acid costs. Mainstream enterprises in China raised domestic prices by 500 yuan/mt and export prices by $100/mt, pushing the quoted center up to 14,000-14,500 yuan/mt, though follow-up from domestic demand remained mediocre and foreign trade orders showed clear divergence. The titanium slag market stayed in the doldrums, with prices under pressure amid weak costs and demand. In the titanium sponge market, leading enterprises took the lead in raising prices, with domestic prices up 2,000 yuan/mt and international prices up $300/mt. Supported by restocking demand for titanium materials and low inventory, the market showed a strong willingness to hold prices firm, but downstream processing segments still maintained a wait-and-see stance, and titanium ingot and titanium plate/strip prices only edged up slightly. Overall, cost support and structural demand divergence coexisted, and future price trends still depended on substantive improvement on the supply and demand side.
