April is almost over, and the mainstream price of titanium dioxide has remained stable, basically maintaining the price tone of the beginning of April. The situation of each manufacturer is different. Some export goods are sold smoothly, and even if domestic trade does not sell goods, they can fully digest the inventory. The situation of arranging orders and delivery still exists, and the strong sentiment still exists; Due to the impact of the public health incident, some manufacturers have restricted shipments in important sales areas. In order to support the work of agents and at the same time transfer profits to end users, there are small price reduction operations. Overall, the trading market is relatively complicated, and the price situation is still unclear. Based on this situation, the first week of May may maintain stable operation.

In the recent stage, logistics and transportation are still difficult in areas that have been relatively heavily affected by public health events. In addition, as the May Day holiday is approaching, some drivers have taken early vacations, mainly for return trips and short-distance quick turnarounds, and transportation vehicles are more difficult to find, not only The timeliness is reduced, and the freight may rise again, the speed of delivery in the trading market is relatively slow, and the volume of new orders has not returned to the normal level.

In addition, the price of titanium ore, the main raw material, also fluctuated. The quotations of small and medium-sized miners in Panxi area fell slightly. Due to the shortage of spot titanium ore, the price of imported titanium ore rose slightly, and the range was 30-60 yuan / ton. Due to the mutual offset situation, the cost of each producer is also different according to their own mining situation.

This week, the domestic titanium dioxide price market has stabilized at a high level. Due to the public health incident, the trading market is far from ideal. At the end of the month, more people are concerned about the price trend of producers. Judging from past experience, each manufacturer or "various" has its own policies, but under the current situation, affected by the weak atmosphere, unqualified manufacturers are also implicated, and more importantly, it will cause a vicious circle of panic. In fact, as in the past, price cuts cannot solve the problem, logistics difficulties still exist, and demand is still unsatisfactory. In addition, the main raw material titanium ore is fueling the flames. In fact, upstream and downstream are equally difficult and helpless. In fact, there are also variables in the price market in May, that is, the management and control of important cities. I sincerely say: if you are well, it will be sunny. In the short term, judging from the operation of this week, the current price market is consolidating at a high level, and we will wait for the new price policy of Billionschem in the next month.
