（If there are changes in the Japan-China balance and a new position is taken, we will re-confirm at NY close and move the new position to an overnight position, while closing out the initial position. However, if the Japan-China new position is canceled midway, the initial position up to that point will be maintained. Therefore, when new positions arise due to changes in the Japan-China balance, they will be paired with the initial position. In case of cancellation, losses or gains will occur accordingly.）
