Question posed by mrpogiii: How long is the New year holiday in China? I plan on going to YiWu but the markets might be closed!?
The commodities market might be closed so i have to ask first.
Im going on Feb 7. I heard the new year is Feb 6. So if u have information lease help. Thanks
The No 1 answer:
Answer by N.C.
Although I do not live in China, so I don’t know the communistic laws governing the full celebration. Chinese New Year is actually February 7th, which is Jan. 1 on our lunar calendar. But New Year’s Eve is a veery important event, so I wouldn’t be surprised if ALL the shops close early (by dinner time), because we sit down to have our annual “family dinner” and everybody must be present for it. On New Year’s Day, people go to the temples. Then from Feb. 8th thru Feb. 20th (Jan. 2 – Jan. 14), those are the days people get to go visit their relatives and friends (called bai neen) to wish everybody a prosperous new year. And the celebration closes with a final holiday called Yuen Siu on Feb. 21st (Jan. 15).
I don’t know how bad the economy is over there either. That would be the main determinant factor in how long shops stay close. So just call around there and ask for that market’s New Year business hours.
How about adding your own answer to the comments below!

I could be wrong, but I heard something about China holding down oil prices in its own country, which resulted in an even more so increased demand for oil within China, which obviously drove up the price of oil in the open market, to a ridiculously inflated level?

sandeesbro asked:
With OPEC’s probable cuts, and the also probable cuts by the fed, plus I heard that China decided to print up some more money, don’t you think it will drive up the prices of commodities like gold?
