Experts point out that this month may generally see less fluctuation in tio2 prices.

Quoted price from producers is likely to be much steadier, no matter what the tio2 market is like, as the room to adjust prices is already squeezed. Titanium ore dealers, believing that the prices have little room for further declines, are now generally cautious but still optimistic.

In April that just passed, continuing price reduction dampened the market and domestic ore dealers failed to boost quantity buying by lowering price.
