Taiwan’s China Steel Corporation (CSC) has announced a TWD 900 (USD 28) per ton increase in domestic prices for most flat steel products for November 2026 deliveries, citing higher international steel prices, recovering downstream orders and rising steelmaking costs.
The increase applies to commercial hot-rolled plates and coils, rerolling-grade hot-rolled coils, commercial cold-rolled coils, electro-galvanized coils for building materials, and hot-dip galvanized coils for building and paint applications.
CSC said international steel prices and domestic market conditions have been rising, while downstream orders and restocking demand are recovering. The company added that the price adjustment is intended to reflect market conditions and higher production costs.
International steelmaking costs remain elevated, with iron ore trading around USD 90-95 per ton and metallurgical coal around USD 270-275 per ton. US and European HRC prices have also strengthened, while production controls by Chinese steelmakers have contributed to tighter supply.
The latest increase follows CSC’s decision to keep domestic steel prices unchanged for September, when the company said the international market appeared to be approaching a bottom and buyers were expected to gradually resume restocking.
China Steel Corporation (CSC) is Taiwan’s largest integrated steel producer, established in 1971 and headquartered in Kaohsiung. The company has a total consolidated steel production capacity is approximately 15.9 mln tons per year, including subsidiaries such as Dragon Steel. CSC produces a wide range of flat and long steel products.
