4、Post Market Forecast

4、后市预测

Titanium sponge domestic market demand is good, the release of new production capacity, the market supply and demand is relatively stable, the actual transaction price of titanium sponge is low, enterprises are under pressure, low profits; Rio Tinto RBM force majeure factors caused by shutdown and ILUKA plans to shut down Sierra rutile project in November, and then the domestic chloride titanium dioxide new production capacity put into operation, titanium chloride raw materials will be tight, titanium raw material prices will continue to be high Titanium sponge prices will continue to run firm in the late.

海绵钛国内市场需求良好，企业新增产能释放，市场供需相对稳定，目前海绵钛实际成交价格低位，企业有所承压，利润偏低；力拓RBM不可抗力因素造成停产及ILUKA计划11月关停塞拉金红石项目，再有国内氯化法钛白新增产能投产，氯化法钛原料将有所偏紧，钛原料价格将继续高位，海绵钛后期价格将继续坚挺运行。
