Closing Thoughts

Same-day Korean news reports tied the Earthquake-Resistant Design move to rules making seismic design mandatory. The open question is whether the theme lasts beyond its first day.

For Steel Majors, a Korean news report said Hyundai Steel Company is expected to raise auto steel sheet prices in February. Dongkuk Holdings and SeAH Steel Holdings had no data for the session.
