Steel mills in China, the world’s biggest, are resisting efforts by Vale SA, Rio Tinto Group and BHP Billiton Ltd. to raise contract prices after steel dropped and the European debt crisis roiled markets, the China Iron and Steel Association said.
“The outlook for the European market is unclear and steel prices may keep falling,” Shan Shanghua, general secretary of the association, said in an interview. “I dare say right now no Chinese steelmakers would accept the third-quarter prices asked.”
