Ferroalloy**》Yesterday, Longbai Group announced: From now on, the price of the company's various types of titanium dioxide will be raised by 500 yuan tons for domestic customers and $100 tons for international customers on the original basis. Subsequently, some companies announced that they would follow the rise, and some companies had not yet issued a letter, but they had sealed the order and planned to raise prices, and the overall market price increase atmosphere was strong.
According to the understanding, the main reasons for the increase in titanium dioxide after the holiday are: 1. Most titanium dioxide companies have sufficient orders in hand, and many downstream factories are still placing orders normally after the holiday, and most companies have no inventory pressure in a short period of time; 2. Raw materials such as titanium concentrate and sulfuric acid are all being raised, raising the cost of enterprises; 3. Warm up the traditional peak season of "Golden Three, Silver and Four".
At present, the price increase of new orders of domestic titanium dioxide enterprises is inevitable, especially the round of price increases before the holiday, which has basically been implemented, and it is difficult to continue to purchase in the early stage. Among them, the mainstream of the rutile titanium dioxide market is temporarily concentrated in 16,000-16,800 yuan tons, and the mainstream of the anatase titanium dioxide market is more strong at 14,800-15,300 yuan tons.
