BEIJING - China's major steelmakers raised prices for a third straight month as downstream demand became stronger and raw material prices continued to rise.

Baoshan Iron & Steel Co, the nation's largest publicly traded steelmaker, raised prices for hot-rolled products by 300 yuan ($50.85) a ton and cold-rolled prices by between 260 and 300 yuan a ton, backed by strong demand from the automobile and construction industries. Baosteel supplies half of China's automotive steel.
