1、 Price trend
Taking the sulfuric acid method gold red stone type titanium dioxide with a large volume of goods in the domestic market as an example, according to data monitoring by Shengyi Society, the domestic titanium dioxide market price has increased this week. The average price of titanium dioxide at the beginning of the week was 15200 yuan/ton, and the average price of titanium dioxide at the end of the week was 15300 yuan/ton, with a price increase of 0.39%.
2、 Market analysis
This week, the domestic titanium dioxide market price has been rising. The upstream raw material sulfuric acid price has risen, and titanium concentrate is consolidating at a high level, putting significant pressure on factory costs. The market quotation for titanium dioxide is approaching high-end prices, and many companies have the intention to increase prices. However, downstream demand is generally moderate, with rigid demand being the main factor. The high cost and weak demand are playing against each other, and there is a strong wait-and-see atmosphere for new order prices. As of now, the domestic quotation for sulfuric acid method pyrite type titanium dioxide is mostly around 14000-16000 yuan/ton; Sharp titanium type costs around 13200-13400 yuan/ton; The actual transaction price is negotiable.
In terms of titanium concentrate, the price of titanium concentrate has slightly increased this week. At present, downstream titanium dioxide factories have stable production, and enterprises mainly consume inventory first. Inquiries are relatively average, and the market is mostly wait-and-see. As of now, the transaction price of 46,10 titanium ore for small and medium-sized manufacturers is between 2080-2150 yuan/ton, the price of 47,20 titanium ore is between 2200-2280 yuan/ton, and the price of 38 titanium ore excluding tax is between 1480-1500 yuan/ton. With Panzhihua Iron and Steel gradually outsourcing raw ore this month, there will be signs of loosening in high prices, and it is expected that some prices may weaken slightly in the later period.
3、 Future forecast
The titanium dioxide analyst from Shengyi Society believes that the domestic titanium dioxide market prices have risen this week, with a slight increase in raw material titanium concentrate prices and a significant increase in sulfuric acid prices. Enterprises with high cost pressure tend to have an upward trend, but downstream wait-and-see sentiment is relatively strong. It is expected that the titanium dioxide market will remain stagnant in the short term, with prices remaining firm and actual transaction prices being negotiated on a case by case basis.
