Explain how the price elasticity of supply is related to the prices of antiques and gold

Please provide the best answer for the statement.


The supply of antiques and gold is relatively inelastic. There is little or no change in quantity supplied to a change in price. As a consequence, increase in demand will often cause large changes in price in the case of antiques. Gold is highly volatile in price because small increases or decreases in demand can cause large changes in price.
