Technical Analysis
The diagram to the right demonstrates a negative supply shock; The initial position is at point A, producing Y1 quantity, at P1 prices. Then there is a supply shock, this has an adverse effect on aggregate supply, the supply curve shifts left (from AS1 to AS2), while the demand curve stays in the same position. The intersection of the supply and demand curves has now moved and the equilibrium is now point B, quantity has been reduced to Y2, while prices have been increased to P2.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or analysis:
“A technical objection is the first refuge of a scoundrel.”
—Heywood Broun (1888–1939)
“... the big courageous acts of life are those one never hears of and only suspects from having been through like experience. It takes real courage to do battle in the unspectacular task. We always listen for the applause of our co-workers. He is courageous who plods on, unlettered and unknown.... In the last analysis it is this courage, developing between man and his limitations, that brings success.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
