China Steel raises November prices by TWD 900 per ton: what it means for China Steel stock. The increase was reported by Mysteel on October 9, 2026, and applies to major products including hot-rolled and cold-rolled coil for local November sales.
Price increase reaches TWD 1,500
The TWD 900 per ton increase was China Steel's second consecutive monthly price rise, according to Mysteel. The cumulative increase in hot-rolled coil prices reached TWD 1,500 per ton over the two-month period, giving the company a clearer pricing lever as steelmaking costs remain elevated.
What does the move mean for margins?
China Steel's first-half 2026 performance provides the key comparison. Quartr reported net profit of TWD 937 million, compared with a loss in the first half of 2025.
