Usage notes
- Common in economics, finance, weather, and prices: il rialzo dei tassi, delle temperature, dei prezzi.
- More technical and noun-like than aumento. Aumento is broader and more neutral in everyday speech.
- Often appears in fixed market language: al rialzo means upward; revise estimates al rialzo = revise upward.
