उत्तर
Producers’ expectations about future market prices affect the supply of any good. If the producers expect an increase in the price of a commodity in the future, they will supply less today and hoard it so as to offer a large quantity of the commodity in the future at higher prices. Conversely, expectations of a fall in future prices tend to increase supply in the current period.
