[SMM Titanium Spot Cargo Update: Market Prices Remain Stable, Downstream Purchasing as Needed] SMM reported on June 24 that today, titanium dioxide prices remained in the doldrums, with rutile-type prices quoted at 13,000-14,300 yuan/mt (FOB $1,890-$1,950), anatase-type at 12,000-12,600 yuan/mt, and chloride-process at 16,000-17,000 yuan/mt. The overall market was characterized by oversupply, with some production lines experiencing production cuts, yet supply remained relatively abundant. Weak domestic and external demand constrained transactions. Cost pressure from raw materials persisted, with significant differences in producer quotes, and high-end products were relatively more resilient to price declines. In the short term, titanium dioxide prices may continue to be in the doldrums. It is recommended to monitor month-end pricing and demand changes.

SMM News on June 24: 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, and the price of chloride-process titanium dioxide is 16,000-17,000 yuan/mt.

Currently, the overall titanium dioxide market remains in the doldrums. Some production lines on the supply side have experienced production cuts, but the overall supply remains relatively sufficient. Demand side, performance is sluggish, with cautious procurement in the domestic trade market and constraints in the export market due to factors such as trade barriers. In terms of raw material costs, domestic ore prices are relatively stable, but cost pressures still persist. The impact of changes in international geopolitical situations on the shipping environment still needs to be observed. The overall market presents an oversupply pattern, with significant differences in producer quotes. Prices for high-end products remain relatively firm, while competition for ordinary-grade products is fierce.

It is expected that titanium dioxide prices will remain in the doldrums with a fluctuating trend in the future. It is recommended to pay attention to adjustments in pricing strategies by mainstream producers at month-end and changes in market demand.
