“We have decided to raise prices because of the difficult situation in the steel industry,” USSK spokesperson Ján Bača told the SITA newswire last week, on December 6.
He did not comment on how much the prices would increase. Based on letters sent by the Slovak steelmaker to buyers, prices would increase by €60 to €70/t in the first six months of 2020, starting to rise at the rate of €25/t as soon as 2020 begins, Argus Media claimed.
