[SMM Titanium Spot Cargo Update: Titanium Material Market Remains Weak, High Prices of Sponge Titanium May Be Difficult to Maintain] SMM reported on July 15 that the titanium material market continued to be sluggish, with quotes for titanium pipes (TA2/25*2mm) and pure titanium rods (TA1/20-40mm) both falling by 5 yuan/kg. Demand remained weak due to the drag from the chemical industry, while the price of sponge titanium remained high, with the average price of Grade 0 sponge titanium at 53,500 yuan/mt. Market analysis suggests that the current price of sponge titanium is inflated, and with the impact of downstream demand weakening, the market may face downward pressure in the future.

SMM reported on July 15 that the average price of Grade 0 titanium sponge was 53,500 yuan/mt, Grade 1 titanium sponge was 50,500 yuan/mt, and Grade 2 titanium sponge was 49,500 yuan/mt today. The quoted price of titanium pipes (TA2/25*2mm) was 115-125 yuan/kg, a decrease of 5 yuan compared to the previous working day; the quoted price of pure titanium rods (TA1/20-40mm) was 95-105 yuan/kg, a decrease of 5 yuan compared to the previous working day.

Currently, the titanium material market continues to face pressure, with downstream demand showing a clear weakening trend. Today, the prices of titanium pipes and pure titanium rods continued to decline, mainly due to the sluggish demand in the terminal chemical sector and the persistent low purchase willingness in the market. It is worth noting that the market price of upstream titanium sponge remains at highs, but the market generally believes that there is a certain degree of overvaluation at the current price level. With the gradual stabilization of downstream demand and the transmission of pressure from the cost side, it is expected that the price of titanium sponge may experience a rational correction in the future market.
