Bloomberg quoted professional analysis on the 21st that the main reason for the continued growth of Japan's imports was that the price of international commodities rose.In the future, the price of commodities may continue to be high, which will lead to the continuous situation of the Japanese trade deficit.However, some analysts believe that the price trend of commodities has become softer in the near future, and the international supply chain is also improving.
