Content: The variables affecting supply include: Seasonality: for example, for agricultural products
Movements in production costs: for example, as a result of increased efficiencies, technological investment or operational changes
Changes in the competitive landscape: for example, if new producers enter or existing producers leave the market
While oversupply (supply exceeding demand) may push down prices, demand becoming greater than supply can cause a shortage which can raise prices again. The rapid fluctuations that can result means those trading commodities should keep up to date with supply and demand conditions. A struggling wider economy can result in stunted consumer spending, meaning some commodity prices may fall. Conversely, a booming economy may result in increased demand for certain commodities, which could lead to higher prices until supply catches up. Political events have the power to shift prices. For example, export and import policies can have a significant impact on commodity prices.
