If sellers expect the price of a good to rise in the future what are they likely to do?

If sellers expect the price of a good to rise in the future, they are likely to withhold some of their current inventory from the market to sell later at the higher anticipated price. This can lead to a temporary decrease in supply, which may drive prices up even further in the short term. Additionally, sellers may increase production or acquire more of the good to maximize profits when prices rise.
