the current price. The cartoon visually represents this by showing oil overflowing and
taking over the room, symbolising that there is more oil available than consumers are
willing to buy.

When there is too much oil in the market, prices usually fall. As prices drop, producers reduce
how much oil they supply, while consumers buy more. This continues until the quantity
demanded equals quantity supplied, and the market reaches a new equilibrium.
