Tokyo Steel Manufacturing Co., Japan's top electric-arc furnace steelmaker, said on Monday it would keep product prices steady in November to make sure a hike implemented this month would be absorbed by the market.
The company raised some of its product prices by 2.2% to 3.4% in October.
For November, prices of its main H-shaped beams will stay steady at 81,000 yen ($769) a tonne while hot rolled coils will remain unchanged at 67,000 yen a tonne.
It said overseas markets looked healthy thanks to strong demand in the world's top consumer China, while Japan's domestic demand was gradually picking up, with inventories of some steel sheets showing a shortage.
