Normally, there will not be a shift in the demand curve when the price of a commodity falls.
A change in the price of the commodity itself leads to a movement along the existing demand curve (either expansion or contraction of demand).
A shift in the demand curve (either to the left or right) is caused by changes in factors *other than* the price of the commodity. These factors include changes in consumer income, tastes and preferences, prices of related goods (substitutes and complements), population size, and consumer expectations.
