Why do airfare prices fluctuate over time?

On April 7 I priced a round trip flight for travel on the weekend of
June 24. The price on the airline's website was just under $300. When I
price it today, the price is over $414 for the same flight numbers on
the same day. I can check seat availability at AA.com, and currently the
flights are less than 50% full.

Anybody have any info why this happens? Any tips for when to find the
lowest price? Anybody think it's going to come back down at some point?

Thanks in advance.
