Titanium dioxide market off-season also adjusted up
Entering August, this is the traditional off-season of titanium dioxide market opened the adjustment mode. From August 4 to 13, there were 25 enterprises such as Guangxilong Chemical Co., LTD., Hunan Chuangda Yutu Chemical Co., LTD., Panzhihua Titanium Sea Technology Co., LTD., Longbai Group Co., LTD., Zhongnuclear Huayuan Titanium Dioxide Co., LTD., Guangdong Huiyun Titanium Industry Co., LTD., which issued price increase letters. The various grades of titanium dioxide in the original price on the basis of 1000~1500 yuan (ton price, the same below).
In addition, some manufacturers in East China, South China, Southwest and other regions also have no low profile pull up, the range is 300~500 yuan. Some Anatase manufacturers have sealed orders, waiting for the latest price policy. As this wave of increases continues to extend, it is expected that more companies will announce price increases in the later stage.
At present, most of China's sulfuric acid rutile type and anatase titanium dioxide mainstream quotation in 18,500 ~ 20,500 yuan and 17,000 ~ 18,000 yuan, domestic and imported chloride rutile titanium dioxide mainstream price in 22,500 ~ 24,000 yuan and 27,500 ~ 29,000 yuan.
Yan titanium titanium industry analyst Yang Xun told reporters that the producer a operation down the titanium dioxide market seems confusing, but the actual current price trend is "centered" trend, mainly in the large producers high fall, small and medium-sized producers low rebound, the price span gradually narrowed. This is mainly due to the East China, southwest part of the producer price down too fast, and the first echelon price difference is too large, through the control of the negotiation space and small adjustment to narrow the price difference, the early impulse, pull back the profits, to achieve its phased purpose." Yang Xun analysis said.
At present, China's foreign enquiries have increased, reflecting that some large customers or users who have stocked up before have exhausted their inventory and have gradually entered a new round of purchasing cycle. Although it is in the off-season of the industry, elastic demand has gradually turned to rigid demand, but the purchasing psychology is more cautious.
There are also many respondents believe that this round of rise can be stable, mainly based on four reasons. First, the main large manufacturers of foreign trade export orders are sufficient, from the perspective of foreign trade orders, short-term no inventory pressure; Second, the raw material titanium concentrate market has a tendency to stop falling, liquid alkali, natural gas, sulfuric acid prices jumped, sulfuric acid prices in some areas have risen to 900~1100 yuan; Third, South China and other producers are affected by environmental protection and power limiting factors, limited production or production plans, titanium dioxide spot supply is insufficient; Fourth, the producers themselves also hope that the price will bottom out and rebound in stages to achieve more economic benefits.
" The current Chinese titanium dioxide market firm and stable, some producers of Ming rise and dark rise to break the market quiet, to fall and rise trend is indeed elusive. According to the current market situation, the same level of products there is a high fall, low rebound. Centralization; Trend, mainstream prices are more consistent. In this case, the bearish sentiment confrontation is more intense than before, the future market trend of titanium dioxide also depends on the producer inventory and downstream demand in early August to September." Yang Xun believes that although the price adjustment has its own reasons, producers are more willing to raise prices.
Yang Xun said that in the short term, manufacturers according to their own orders and inventory to adjust the operating rate and factory prices, rutile titanium dioxide price span has a shrinking trend, a wave of small range pull up or stimulate part of the peak season stock elastic demand, "fragmentation" demand has the possibility of whole. At this key point, the latest price policy of leading enterprises is still the focus of market attention, Longbai, Jinhai, Dawn, Huiyun, anda and other dragon enterprises to promote the rise, laid the foundation of this round of titanium dioxide price.
