[SMM Titanium Spot Market Flash: Price Spread Between Domestic and Overseas Markets for Titanium Dioxide Widens, Rutile Prices Dragged Down by Export Pressure] SMM reported on June 16 that today's titanium dioxide quotes are as follows: domestic rutile prices range from 13,000 to 14,300 yuan/mt, with FOB prices ranging from $1,890 to $1,950/mt; anatase prices range from 12,000 to 12,600 yuan/mt. The prices of sulphuric acid-processed titanium dioxide are in the doldrums, with some enterprises offering discounts to sell due to export obstacles.

SMM News on June 16: Today, the price of rutile titanium dioxide is 13,000-14,300 yuan/mt, and the FOB price of rutile titanium dioxide is $1,890-1,950/mt. The price of anatase titanium dioxide is 12,000-12,600 yuan/mt.

After a slight pullback in the price of sulphuric acid-process titanium dioxide last Friday, the overall market is in the doldrums today. According to feedback from some enterprises, affected by overseas anti-dumping policies, the signing of export orders has been hindered. Additionally, some producers are offering discounts to ship goods, and the actual transaction prices continue to show a downward trend.

By product type, rutile titanium dioxide has a high degree of export dependence, and market competition is relatively fierce. Affected by policies and exchange rate fluctuations, export prices continue to be under pressure, with some transaction prices even lower than domestic selling prices. In contrast, since global capacity for anatase titanium dioxide is concentrated in China, export orders remain relatively stable, and price fluctuations are relatively small.
