SAO PAULO, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Steelmakers Usiminas, CSN and ArcelorMittal SA are planning to hike prices of steel for November delivery in Brazil, analysts at investment bank BTG Pactual wrote in a note to clients on Thursday.

"Our channel checks have confirmed that CSN, Usiminas and ArcelorMittal are announcing another flat steel price hike for the distribution chain," analysts Leonardo Correa and Caio Greiner wrote in the note.

"The industry is announcing a 10-12% price hike for November, which places the accumulated steel price hikes at above 40% YTD."
