Crude oil futures have fallen, and inflation alerts have eased somewhat. Buyers gathered in export-related fields such as machinery, and stocks of materials such as chemicals rose. Financial stocks are also expensive.

- It is a development that tries the upper price while carefully handling the material of the market price.The pace of US interest rate hikes is still a factor of high market interest, so it seems that although it is on a return trend, unstable movements are continuing.
