The worlds fourth largest steelmaker based in South Korea said on Tuesday it will raise its hot-rolled steel prices by 11.5 percent, after other regional steel makers raised their prices.
The widely expected price increase would be the steel maker's first for hot-rolled steel, POSCO's key product, since July 2006.
Prices of hot-rolled steel will be raised to 580,000 won ($609) a tonne, up 60,000 won, effective from Feb. 1.
The South Korean steel maker also plans to raise cold-rolled steel prices by 65,000 won, or 10.8 percent, to 665,000 won a tonne.
