Steel prices to continue climbing for another half year: fund manager
Seoul

Baring Asset Management Korea Ltd's head of equities, Hyun Choi, said he started buying Posco shares in late 2015, after South Korea's biggest steelmaker posted its biggest loss in at least five years. That was around the time when Chinese authorities spoke of the need to overhaul state-run companies and address a glut in supply.
