Высокий спрос на циркон и диоксид титана, ключевые материалы в строительстве, снимает опасения инвесторов по поводу потенциальных последствий торговой войны. Iluka Resources сообщает о значительном увеличении производства и рыночных условиях для обоих минералов, что указывает на положительную тенденцию в строительной деятельности, особенно в США и Китае.

Strong demand for zircon and titanium dioxide, two materials widely used in the construction industry, helps alleviate investor concerns about slowing overall economic activity caused by the trade war. Since most zircon ends up as glaze on ceramic bathroom fixtures and tiles, and most titanium dioxide is used in paint pigment, their consumption rate serves as a guide for overall construction activity, especially home building in major economies like the US and China. Iluka Resources, which operates zircon and titanium dioxide mines in Australia and Africa, reported that market conditions for both were strong during the three months to the end of September, with customers absorbing significant price increases. Zircon and titanium dioxide are sometimes called heavy minerals or mineral sands because of how they are mined, using simple earth-moving equipment or dredging old beaches where wave action has concentrated the minerals over millions of years. Production increased by 11% Iluka reported in its September quarterly report, presented to the Australian Stock Exchange earlier today, that total mineral sands production of all its products rose by 11% in the latest quarter compared to the June quarter.
