Titanium Price Today (9 Nov 2026): Plate, Tube, Rod & Wire

Published: 9 November 2026 Basis: China domestic, ex-works, RMB incl. 13% VAT FX ref: USD/CNY 6.7188 (CFETS central parity, 9 Nov 2026)

The slide paused — on paper. Quoted lists for Grade 0 sponge titanium held just above RMB 40,000/t through the first week of November, and this morning's assessment narrowed the range to 41,000–42,000. But today's weekly mill survey went further: the mainstream Grade 0 quote is now RMB 40,000 and some deals are printing at 39,000 — transactions, not just one index, have entered the "3" era. This is stabilisation at historic lows, not a rebound: the cost floor under prices is still moving down. For buyers of standard grades, the waiting game has not ended — but suppliers can now be engaged without chasing a falling number.

Full price table

Sponge prices: morning assessments of 9 November 2026. Mill-product ranges: weekly survey published 9 November covering the trading week of 2–6 November. RMB prices are China domestic ex-works including 13% VAT. USD figures are indicative conversions at 6.7188 only — they are not export prices.

* TA1 ingot spans three readings: the weekly mill survey (9 November) prints 51,000–53,000; a national daily assessment printed 53,000–55,000 on 2 November (−1,000 on the day); a Baoji platform posted 55,000–56,000 on 6 November. Cold-rolled coil spans narrow to wide widths.

What moved today — and what did not

Moved

• Sponge range tops narrowed today. The 9 November morning assessment puts Grade 0 at 41,000–42,000 (top −1,000 from last week's 41,000–43,000), Grade 1 at 40,000–41,000, Grade 2 at 39,000–40,000.
• Deals, not just lists, are now below 40,000. Today's weekly mill survey reports the mainstream Grade 0 quote at RMB 40,000 with some transactions at 39,000 — "the 3 era," as Chinese commentary puts it. Quoted lists hold above the line; where money actually changes hands no longer does.
• TA2 ingot re-based lower. The weekly survey prints TA2 ingot at 50,000–52,000 RMB/t, while TA1 spans 51,000–56,000 across sources — ingot is the last link still digesting October's sponge drop. TC4 alloy ingot, by contrast, held 62,000–64,000.

Did not move

• Plate, coil, tube, bar and wire were flat across the board in this morning's weekly survey — hot-rolled medium plate 63,000–67,000, cold-rolled 2.0 mm sheet 72,000–76,000, seamless tube 120–125 RMB/kg, welded tube 105–110. Grade 0 sponge quotes now sit at their lowest level on record in this cycle.
• TC4 plate (160,000–180,000) and TA10 (140,000–160,000) held. Aerospace and military order books continue to insulate the alloy segment.
• Welded tube kept its discount to seamless (105–110 vs 120–125 RMB/kg); chemical buyers keep migrating to it.

Three forces holding prices here

1. A cost floor that is itself sliding

Panzhihua 46% ore is assessed around 1,060–1,120 RMB/t ex-works excluding VAT (some postings at 1,150), with some smaller miners below cash cost. Slag tenders are settling lower, titanium tetrachloride holds 5,600–6,000. The integrated 60,000 t/yr Anning project — ramping since late September with a break-even near 40,000 RMB/t — keeps sponge economics anchored to a floor that moves down with it.

2. Full capacity, need-based demand

Sponge producers remain essentially at full capacity with high inventories; buyers order just in time and press on price. The "Golden September, Silver Ten" season passed without a pickup. Aerospace and military demand stays strong but too small in tonnage to lift the civil market.

3. A narrowing export outlet

India's anti-dumping duties on Chinese TiO2 (USD 460–681/t, five years, reinstated 24 October) are now in force alongside EU and Brazil measures, with UK and Japan probes pending. A weaker TiO2 chain feeds back into ore and sponge demand. September's export prints were strong on paper — but the marginal direction is restriction, not expansion.

What this means if you are buying now

How to read these prices

• All RMB prices are China domestic, ex-works, including 13% VAT. These are not export prices — FOB/CIF quotes differ because of VAT/rebate treatment, export packaging, inland freight, order volume and payment terms. Ask us for an export quote; do not assume one.
• USD figures are indicative conversions at the CFETS central parity of 6.7188 (9 November 2026) and move with the currency, not with the metal.
• Grade equivalents: TA1≈Gr1, TA2≈Gr2, TC4≈Gr5, TA9≈Gr7, TA10≈Gr12. Chinese GB and ASTM tolerances are similar but not identical — confirm the standard on your drawing.
• Sponge is quoted by grade: 0# (highest), 1#, 2#. "Civil" grades follow the chemical/consumer market; aerospace-certified material trades separately and has not tracked these declines.
• Flanges, fittings and machined parts carry no public list price — every quote is order-specific, so ranges for these items are not published here.
