That is what many people say when they receive information about the price increase of goods before Tet. In fact, the word "amplitude" is used a lot in stock trading, and the expression "Tet amplitude" can be understood as the price increase of most goods during Tet. Just look at the market in early December and early November of the lunar calendar this year, it will be clear, "green vegetables are in high demand, and gold prices are increasing"...
The main reason for the increase in vegetable prices is that heavy rain and strong winds about 2 months before Tet damaged, crushed or flooded many vegetable areas of farmers across the country. A new crop of vegetables has been planted by farmers to be released to the market near Tet. Gold is a commodity that fluctuates up and down regularly, every day, but the market near Tet this year, both domestically and internationally, has increased, signaling new price ranges. At the same time, many other consumer goods have also been priced higher than in the third quarter of the year. It's Tet! The demand for all goods increases, so it is natural that prices are higher than usual!
Everyone understands that price increases are inevitable when Tet comes. But many people are worried. Because the economy in 2022 has recovered and developed, but in the last months of the year, many businesses are struggling, with no more orders due to the difficulties of the world economy after the pandemic and armed conflicts in some places around the world. Then, hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs or had their working hours cut, which means their income was reduced or no income in the last months of the year. Meanwhile, the agricultural sector helps people in many regions stabilize their "food", but buying more supplies and other items for a more complete Tet is not easy...
The work of controlling prices and stabilizing the market at the end of the year and during Tet has been carried out by ministries and branches with active direction from the Government. Many solutions have been proposed for essential and consumer goods, contributing to limiting inflation and stabilizing the psychology of consumers and businesses. However, that can only be applied to goods that our State can control and regulate, while many other goods must follow the fluctuation range of the world market, or like "a bunch of vegetables and a fish" that are difficult to "apply". Therefore, the "Tet range" of price increase but consumption is more or less, it depends on each person's pocket.
