Titanium dioxide market stabilized at a high level

Since April, the high price of domestic titanium dioxide market has stabilized. As of April 7, the mainstream prices of domestic sulfuric acid rutile and anatase titanium dioxide were 19800 ~ 21500 yuan (ton price, the same below) and 18500 ~ 19800 yuan respectively, and the mainstream prices of domestic and imported chlorinated rutile titanium dioxide were 23500 ~ 26000 yuan and 30500 ~ 32000 yuan respectively.

At present, the domestic titanium dioxide trading market presents three characteristics: first, the spot order arrangement of the main large titanium dioxide production enterprises is obvious, especially in the southwest production base; Second, the arrangement and delivery of orders with relatively low terminal price are obvious, which is most prominent among the production enterprises in Southwest China; Third, due to the previous shutdown for various reasons, a large number of customers are out of stock, the phenomenon of terminal goods search is frequent, and the situation of long-distance goods transfer in South China and East China is obvious.

On the whole, the inventory of most production enterprises has not been established. In addition, the prices of raw materials and energy products such as titanium concentrate, sulfuric acid, sulfur and natural gas remain high, and the price support sentiment of titanium dioxide production enterprises is still obvious.

In addition, on March 31, Churmus, a foreign titanium dioxide giant, announced that the ton price of titanium dioxide sold in China would increase by $200 from May 1, which was the second consecutive month after the company announced on February 28 that it would increase by $200 from April 1. This will set off the domestic titanium dioxide market.

At present, the titanium dioxide market is still at a high level, and most of the actual single prices have already exceeded the 20000 yuan mark. Although the terminal has improved its acceptance of high price, it still has great cost pressure and strong expectation of decline. In addition, March overdrawn part of the demand in April, and now it is only an obvious effect of Library transfer. In fact, most cargo holders keep low profits and take goods, while bearing the "splint" of price increases of production enterprises and lower prices of downstream procurement. Under this confrontation mood, the smooth progress of titanium dioxide market may be acceptable to manufacturers and end users.

For the later trend, many industry analysts expect that the domestic titanium dioxide market will remain high in early April.

In the short term, there was a serious long short confrontation in the titanium dioxide market trend in April, and the market also rose and fell. Under the influence of multiple factors, the slightly strong high consolidation of titanium dioxide market may become an acceptable result for both supply and demand.
