Amid weak year-end demand, the increase may spur earlier pre-holiday ordering and help bolster market sentiment.
The Chinese titanium slag market continued to move within a narrow range amid balanced supply and demand. Domestic activity remained stable in December, with producers focused on executing existing customer orders.
