[SMM Titanium Spot Cargo Update: Prices Across Titanium Industry Chain Fall, Market to Remain in the Doldrums] SMM reported on July 7 that prices across the titanium industry chain have generally declined. The quoted price of domestically produced titanium concentrate has been reduced by 50 yuan/mt, high titanium slag prices have fallen by another 390 yuan from last month's low, and titanium tetrachloride prices have dropped by 100 yuan/mt. Affected by weak demand, the titanium material market has seen price pullbacks for products such as titanium plates, titanium pipes, and titanium rods. The average market price of titanium dioxide has decreased by 350 yuan, with insufficient end-use demand leading to prices continuing to hit bottom. Currently, the market as a whole is experiencing oversupply, coupled with the impact of the traditional off-season. It is expected that prices will remain weak in the short term, and attention should be paid to the recovery of demand and adjustments in capacity in the future.

SMM News on July 7: Prices across the titanium industry chain have generally declined.

Titanium concentrate market:The quoted price for domestically produced titanium concentrate (TiO2≥46%) is 1,650-1,700 yuan/mt, down 50 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. The quoted price for the TiO2≥47% specification is 1,950-2,100 yuan/mt, with the average price down 50 yuan/mt. Affected by weak titanium dioxide demand and falling imported ore prices, domestic miners have panicked and sold off, exacerbating downward pressure on prices.

Titanium slag and titanium tetrachloride markets:The quoted price for high-titanium slag (TiO2≥90%) is 6,300-7,000 yuan/mt, down 195 yuan/mt from the previous trading day and 390 yuan from the low point of last month. The quoted price for titanium tetrachloride (99.9%) is 5,200-5,600 yuan/mt, down 100 yuan/mt. This price adjustment is mainly due to the downward shift in tender prices from steel mills.

Titanium material market:Prices for major products have generally pulled back: TA2 titanium plate (3-8mm) is 64 yuan/kg; TA2 titanium tube (25*2mm) is 125 yuan/kg; TA1 pure titanium rod (20-40mm) is 105 yuan/kg; TC4 titanium alloy rod (20-40mm) is 125 yuan/kg. Sponge titanium prices have ended their high consolidation and begun to pull back. With increased supply and stable demand, there is expected to be further downside room.

Titanium dioxide market:The quoted price for anatase titanium dioxide is 11,500-12,000 yuan/mt, with an average price of 11,750 yuan/mt, down 350 yuan. As mainstream producers implement price adjustment policies, the market expects prices to further hit bottom. Anatase products face greater adjustment pressure due to shrinking demand.

Outlook:In the short term, various segments of the titanium industry chain will remain in the doldrums. The combined effects of the traditional off-season in summer and macroeconomic pressures may lead prices to continue to hit bottom. It is recommended to pay attention to the recovery of end-use demand in late August and the capacity adjustment trends of major producers, which will be key signals for market stabilization.
