yes and no, Demand will intersect Supply at the equilibrium price, but changing price will be determined by changes in the demand curves or the supply curves. If supply shifts, with a constant demand, price will adjust. At the end, less quantity is served by supply as everyone can't afford the high price, only those who value the commodity the most. Very simple. And we are seeing it now.

It just tells you facts, nothing else, not projected opinions or other creative ideas
