Social inventories of silicon metal in China were barely changed this week, with SMM data showing that stocks across Huangpu port, Kunming city and Tianjin port stood at 46,000 mt as of Friday July 3, flat from the level seen on June 24, the last trading day before the Dragon Boat Festival.

SHANGHAI, Jul 3 (SMM) – Social inventories of silicon metal in China were barely changed this week, with SMM data showing that stocks across Huangpu port, Kunming city and Tianjin port stood at 46,000 mt as of Friday July 3, flat from the level seen on June 24, the last trading day before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Stocks at port warehouses held stable in muted trades, as most of the deliveries were for long-term contracts while traders did not stockpile.

Meanwhile, stocks in Kunming were unchanged as losses at small warehouses after some plants stepped up sales were offset by increases at large warehouses. Silicon metal inventories at social warehouses in Kunming are likely to begin to climb next week.

Titanium Market Diverged After the Holiday, Titanium Dioxide Leads the Gains While Titanium Products Steadily Recover [SMM Titanium Weekly Review]

[SMM Titanium Weekly Review: Titanium Market Diverged Post-Holiday, Titanium Dioxide Led Gains While Titanium Products Steadily Recovered] This week, the titanium industry chain showed divergent performance. Titanium concentrate operated steadily, with mines awaiting new March orders. Sentiment for titanium dioxide price hikes remained strong, led by the chloride process; high sulphuric acid costs supported expectations for price increases, though actual implementation still depends on demand follow-through. Titanium slag was in the doldrums, under cost pressure, with prices consolidating at the bottom. Sponge titanium saw weak supply and demand, prices held steady, and future performance relies on downstream restocking to boost recovery. The titanium products market recovered steadily, mainly driven by rigid demand restocking, and is expected to stabilize next week.
