[SMM Titanium Spot Market Flash: Weak Demand for Titanium Dioxide Leads to Negative Feedback Upstream; Titanium Ore Market in the Doldrums Today] SMM reported on June 23 that today's market quotations for rutile titanium dioxide were 13,000-14,300 yuan/mt, while those for anatase titanium dioxide were 12,000-12,800 yuan/mt. Titanium concentrate prices were in the doldrums today, with mainstream quotations for titanium concentrate (TiO2≥46%) in the Panxi region at 2,000-2,150 yuan/mt, and those for titanium concentrate (TiO2≥47%) at 1,700-1,750 yuan/mt.

SMM News on June 25: Today, titanium concentrate prices are in the doldrums. The mainstream quotations for titanium concentrate (TiO2≥46%) in the Panxi region are 2000-2150 yuan/mt; the mainstream quotations for titanium concentrate (TiO2≥47%) in the Panxi region are 1700-1750 yuan/mt.

According to factories, as the titanium dioxide industry moves out of the peak season, the downstream demand for titanium concentrate is expected to weaken. Quotations from small and medium-sized ore merchants have loosened somewhat, and the titanium ore market is in a state of doldrums. In addition, affected by the delay in procurement plans for high-titanium slag and chloride-process titanium dioxide, overseas titanium ore prices have plummeted, and market transactions are sluggish. Considering that the current titanium ore inquiries are still not optimistic and large ore merchants remain stable, it is expected that the titanium ore market will maintain a state of doldrums in the future.
