In equilibrium,there is no pressure on the market to produce or consume more than is being sold.true or false?

Question

briefly explain the answer.

Answer 1

True. A market is said to be in equilibrium when its supply and demand curves meet. At the equilibrium point, the intersection of these curves demonstrates that the market is not over producing (producing more than is being sold) or over consuming (consuming more than is being sold). Therefore there would be no pressure on the market to do so.

If I understand the question correctly then to the left of the point of equilibrium, where supply exceeds demand there is pressure on the market to consume more and if it is to the right of the equilibrium point where demand exceeds supply there is pressure to produce more than is being sold but due to the 'clearing' effect a market will always return to an equilibrium point due to the price mechanisms of a free market economy
