Can a planet's magnetic field be generated by non-ferromagnetic metals?

I am trying to construct a terrestrial planet that is almost entirely made of silicates but with a core that's able to generate a magnetic field. I really don't want to use iron, nickel, or cobalt, and was wondering if I could use a non-ferromagnetic metal. I was thinking maybe titanium (aparently its weakly magnetic). Would this be possible? Or would the magnetic field be too weak? I know that Jupiter has a field from metallic hydrogen so I don't know what is and isnt possible at this point.
