Yup. Prices are just information about two quantities: how much people want, and how much there is to sell.
If you force people to trade at a certain price, you're barring the average consumer and the average buyer from ever trading at a price they would agree on. That means a decrease in revenue, and ultimately a decrease in jobs.
