上涨 (shàng zhǎng) — to rise, to go up (in price, value, level, etc.)

Definition

上涨 (shàng zhǎng) is the standard verb for 'to rise' in prices, values, levels, or rates — used in both news and everyday speech. It differs from 升 (shēng), which is broader (also means 'to be promoted'), and from 上升 (shàng shēng), which is more general for physical ascent or abstract increase. 上涨 is specifically for economic or measurable upward movement.
