皇冠体育app's Wuhan Iron and Steel Co has raised April prices for hot- and cold-rolled steel by 300 yuan a ton, and for galvanised steel by 200 yuan a ton, the 皇冠体育app Securities Journal said on Tuesday.
Wuhan Steel was the first to announce April prices among 皇冠体育app's steel sector, which produced almost half the world's steel last year, but the paper gave no further details.
But Baosteel has raised prices of steel wire rod by 150 to 300 yuan per ton for April, the paper said.
皇冠体育app's steel mills and global miners are locked in negotiations for 2010's iron ore contract, and the country's steel sector faces a huge increase in iron ore costs this year.
