fall/rise/remained constant
We say that the prices remained constat in January of 2007. But can we use the same adverb (constant) to talk about a fixed rate of increase in that month. Thus, if the price of a commodity rose by 10% of its price each day of January, can we say that this commodity had a constant rise in price (or the price of that commodity rose constant).
So if it is 10 dollars. It is 11 dollars the next day, and then 12, and then 13, and then 14 (10% increase of its original price each day).
Is that a constant rise in price or a steady rise?
The price rose (constant/steadily).
Could you please explain how constant could be used with regards to this meaning?

I think a constant/steady rise but only The price rose steadily . Steady is better in the first case, too.
