Sue · Answer 1

cause no changes in the demand and supply curves of oil in the current year.

Explanation:

Changes in price don't generate shifts in the supply and demand curves in the short term. It generates a movement along the curves as non price changes are the ones that generate a shift in these curves. If the price of the oil increases, the demand quantity falls which will cause a movement along the demand curve. Also, this situation will increase the supply quantity which also generates a movement along the supply curve.
