Titanium Dioxide Meets Double 11 Market 2016

Taking the sulfuric acid-based rutile titanium dioxide in the domestic market as the example, the market price of titanium dioxide rose in November. The average price at the beginning of the month was 1,405 yuan/ton, and the average price at the end of the month was 14,785 yuan/ton (including tax). The increase was 5.34%. At present, the majority of domestic mainstream prices of sulfuric acid rutile and anatase titanium dioxide are priced at 13500-14800 yuan/ton and 11500-12500 yuan/ton (including tax).

Market analysis

"Dragon" fits in and rises by another thousand. October 28th, after the "Dragonfly" fit, the effect was obvious. On November 2nd, Sichuan Longxi and Weililian simultaneously announced a rise of 1,000 yuan/ton, and Sichuan Longxi accumulated a maximum increase of 5,700 yuan/ton during 11 years. Afterwards, the market again set off the strongest price increase in November. Manufacturers in Henan, Sichuan, Shandong, Anhui, Yunnan, and Guangxi followed suit, rising at 500-1000 yuan/ton, and other manufacturers increased their prices more often than not. Between 11-13 times. 2016 is only one and a half months away from the year-end market. According to the current market situation, it is not a big problem for Lito to “clear customs”. At present, some downstream companies are aware of the situation and trends, and they have gradually started to stock their goods. The increase in export volume has also been driven by limited production among manufacturers. The “remove warehouse” effect has gradually emerged, and traders are more reluctant to sell their goods and have to wait for more sales. Actual transactions in the market are mostly solid results of previous price increases.

Anatase frequency rose, the momentum exceeded rutile. In mid-late-November, anatase titanium dioxide producers frequently increased their prices, and manufacturers in Guangxi Province had risen nearly 2,000 yuan/ton in early, mid-month and third-month endings. This was mainly due to the relatively weak antecedent titanium market in the early stage and the price increase market once Withdrawing from the team, some manufacturers changed crude products, coupled with the tightening of environmental protection in the region, the production capacity could not be released, the production of anatase decreased sharply, and the price of rutile titanium dioxide was relatively high. Downstream enterprises with low quality requirements were dismissed from Antetsu, so that they were currently sharp Titanium-type titanium dioxide inventory is tight, and successive price increases.

Trump came to power or exported titanium dioxide to the United States. Donald Trump was elected as the 45th president of the United States. He may only do those things that are economically immediate. Clinton is essentially a politician. The economy under her governance must be subordinated to politics. However, when Trump takes office, he will certainly reduce the weight of politics and focus on the economy. Because he is a businessman himself, he is only good at the economy, and he is not good at politics. The shrinking of hands where they are not good at meets the characteristics of Americans. Trump is a very realistic person. He can do things that can make ordinary people see results immediately. This also means that some persistent R&D will be postponed, and it is likely that more money will be invested in real estate construction. Trump is a real estate person and is best at this, so it is driven by real estate. Under the circumstances, the export of Chinese titanium dioxide to the United States may be of long-term interest.

Titanium dioxide will add another good year for the industry. From mid-November to mid-November 2016, the titanium dioxide industry in 2016 will be launched in Tengxian, Guangxi, and the anatase-type producers in Guangxi will collectively increase by 500-800 yuan per ton. This time, it will increase due to horizontal consensus among enterprises, not to rule out In December, the regional renewed interest, the price of rutile titanium dioxide may be concentrated again, but it needs to maintain a certain price difference with domestic chlorination products.

Titanium dioxide prices soared, why spot so tight? In November, the titanium dioxide price market can be said to be hot, mainly reflected in the anatase type, a few manufacturers at the beginning of the month, mid-month, the end of the three consecutive rose nearly 2,000 yuan / ton, Mainly due to tight supply, including rutile type has a similar situation, then the country's production so much, where the goods have gone?: 1, the manufacturer's production capacity can not be released. Environmental protection and other pressure, producers limit production, production is low, inventory is small, manufacturers are more concentrated in the East China, Southwest, South China and other regions producers are mostly single-line production; 2, export favorable. From January to September 2016, the total amount of titanium dioxide exported was 504,030,305 tons. In only three quarters, it exceeded the annual export volume of 533,944.41 million tons in 2015, exceeding 0.22 million tons, or 0.41%, and the export of rutile in the past accounted for Most of the anatase exports also rebounded in the fourth quarter. Even if the export prices are slightly lower than the domestic trade prices, the producers still give priority to exports.

High logistics costs or titanium dioxide continue to explore themes. The tight supply of titanium dioxide accelerated the price increase, and the price of superimposed raw material titanium concentrate (46 grade 10 minerals in Panxi region) soared to around RMB 1,100/tonne (excluding tax); the cost of automobile logistics increased (because of rising automobile logistics, More railways have been changed, so that the pressure of railway transportation surge, "iron boss" or follow suit); large enterprises to create a more favorable atmosphere of regional consensus with Guangxi and other obvious, many of the above factors promote the fourth quarter of the market price of titanium dioxide than "Lin Dan derailed "It's still lively.

Pangang's Chongqing Titanium Industry Chlorination Titanium Dioxide project was formally put into operation. Pangang's Chongqing Titanium Industry's 100,000 tons chlorination process titanium dioxide project was formally put into production. The production line adopts a low-cost raw material route, and there has been a small amount of crude product output. The molding product will soon be available.

Koster announced the price increase of titanium dioxide. Koster announced on November 23, 2016 that starting January 1, 2017, it will raise the prices of all TiO2 and Tikon titanium dioxide (TiO2) products, or see the contract requirements. Latin America: Up $200/tonne; Eastern Europe and Western Europe, including Turkey: Up €200/tonne. Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States increased by US$150/tonne; Middle East and Africa: increased by US$150/tonne; Asia-Pacific region: raised US$150/tonne.

Titanium concentrate prices soared in November. Downstream titanium dioxide rose by thousands of yuan as a quote, the miners are generally optimistic about the market outlook, coupled with an increase in the market inquiry, hope inflationary high inflation. Titanium ore spot tension, coupled with the rise in logistics costs such as Qiyun, so that the price of Chinese minerals market soared "righteousness"; pass Panzhihua iron ore, some miners to sell goods and reluctant to sell; In addition, the downstream price of titanium dioxide continued to rise again , driving the price of raw materials or mine is expected to be good. In the Panxi area, both Titanium and Titanium concentrates are up-linked and more or less profitable. However, there are still miners saying that their profits have not improved significantly, mainly due to the high cost of capital and their own pressure. Also larger. It is reported that Fengyuan Mining in Panzhihua City expects to resume production on November 25. The planned output of 30,000 tons per month will play a role in alleviating the supply shortage of China Mining. The market price of titanium concentrates in the Panxi region continued to soar. Small and medium-sized miners were relatively active. The quoted price of imported ore was also strong. The downstream titanium dioxide producers continued to rise. In the short-term, the market prices for titanium concentrates continued to be high.

Market Forecast

In November, the domestic titanium dioxide price market continued to rebound. The market boost effect of “Longxi” rose by a thousand Yuan was obvious. The increase range was generally larger, and the prices were mostly tamped. The anatase titanium dioxide increased in pace, and the manufacturers in Guangxi had a higher degree of consensus. Businesses send out an adjustment letter almost every week. In the middle of the fourth quarter of 2016, it was basically possible to determine "annual rises." Although the raw material and logistics costs increase, some of the profits will be eaten, but the overall situation is better. Producers are more or less profitable. The atmosphere is very good and they should be treated rationally. It is not necessarily a good thing that price increases should be too fast. The price difference between anatase and rutile is shrinking, and the difference between the sulfuric acid method and the chlorination method is reduced. Both anatase and sulfuric acid rutile titanium dioxide are It is a small tipping point. In the short term, future producers’ stocks may continue to be tense. In addition, raw materials and logistics costs will boost prices. In December, the price market may continue to be strong, and there will continue to be “exclusive” price increases.
