Market forces generally is taken to mean the determinants of supply and demand. Generally where supply and demand meet is the equilibrium price ie optimum price for a given product. If either the supply or demand changes then the price will be affected. For example, currently we have a demand for housing which cannot be met with the existing supply (as well as the fact of having low interest rates) so with each sale of property the price goes up. This continued for some time until we had the credit crunch and the supply of money (mortgages) became severely restricted thereby reducing the demand for property and ultimately prices are coming down (except for London).

Process of price determination?

Price is determined at the point of equilibrium. Equilibrium is a point of balance. In other words, equilibrium is the point at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied is equal. That is, market equilibrium refers to a condition where a market price is established through competition such that the amount of goods or services sought by buyers is equal to the amount of goods or services produced by sellers. This price is called equilibrium price.


What are the strength and weaknesses of law of supply and demand as regards to price determination?

The law of supply and demand effectively explains how prices are determined in a market economy, as it illustrates the relationship between the availability of goods (supply) and consumer desire (demand). A strength of this law is its ability to predict price fluctuations based on changes in market conditions. However, a weakness lies in its assumptions of perfect competition and rational behavior, which may not hold true in real-world situations, leading to market inefficiencies and distortions. Additionally, external factors such as government regulations and market monopolies can further complicate price determination beyond basic supply and demand dynamics.
