North American third quarter titanium dioxide contract price increase
Affected by upstream supply shortages and rising rutile and ilmenite prices, titanium dioxide prices in the third quarter of North America rose slightly. Previously, due to the rising price of titanium dioxide products, titanium dioxide in the paper production market also appeared to increase prices.
According to ICIS monitoring data, after the US price increase of 1 to 3 cents per pound, the price of titanium dioxide has been pushed up to 1.60 / lb ~ 1.70 US dollars / lb FD free shipping. Although the market dominated the price increase in the third quarter, the price increase was not common in the Ti-Pure Value Stabilisation (TVS) strategic plan market, where the free negotiation contract and the producer Kemu's value were stable. Based on the Global Producer Price Index (PPI), Chemours implements a strategy of stabilizing profits and reducing customer price volatility, adjusting prices every six months.
