According to compiled reports and market monitoring, on the first day of the Lunar New Year of the Year of the Horse 2026, the supply and demand of goods nationwide remained basically stable; the market did not record any major price fluctuations, and there were no shortages or sudden price increases for essential goods.
Local authorities and businesses have been preparing goods for the Lunar New Year holiday early and in a coordinated manner, contributing to ensuring a balance between supply and demand and stabilizing prices on the first day of the new year.
Because people had proactively purchased and stockpiled goods before Tet, the first day of Tet was mainly focused on visiting relatives and friends, going on outings, and participating in early year festivals. Therefore, the demand for shopping on that day was not large, and the volume of transactions in the market was low. The circulation of goods proceeded smoothly, with no signs of supply disruption.
On New Year's Day, most traditional markets, supermarkets, and shopping malls close for the Tet holiday. However, some shopping malls and convenience stores in major cities remain open to serve customers during shortened hours.
In some localities, only a small number of small traders opened their stalls for the day, mainly selling vegetables, fruits, and essential goods, with negligible customer traffic.
The price of basic parking services remained stable compared to normal days; some unauthorized parking areas around temples, pagodas, and festivals saw localized price increases, but these were not widespread. Overall, the market on the first day of Tet was stable, with no unusual factors affecting the general price level.
In Hanoi , on the first day of the Lunar New Year, most people were out visiting relatives and friends, so shopping demand was negligible. Only a few businesses such as supermarkets and shopping malls remained open to serve the public.
Most local markets were deserted, with only a few establishments open to mark the first day of the new year. Due to warm and sunny weather in most areas, the supply of goods was abundant, and there were no sudden price increases. It is expected that people will start shopping on the second day of Tet, but demand will not be as high as in the previous days.
During the remaining days of the Lunar New Year holiday in 2026 (Year of the Horse), the market and prices are expected to remain relatively stable. Consumer demand for goods during the first days of the new year is not expected to increase significantly, as most households have already stocked up on goods before the holiday.
The supply of goods remains secure as many supermarkets, shopping malls, and large retail stores reopened from the second day of Tet (Lunar New Year), contributing to maintaining the distribution and circulation of goods and limiting the risk of supply chain disruptions.
Prices of essential goods are not expected to fluctuate unusually. Some services catering to the needs of spring travel and early year festivals, such as parking, food services, and offerings, may see slight localized increases in crowded areas due to labor costs during the Tet holiday.
However, the expected increase is not significant, is temporary, and will not affect the overall price level of the market.
