Starting from Saudi Aramco, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Saudi Aramco →DelaysEast-West pipeline (Petroline)
Attacks temporarily halted the East-West pipeline and left it pumping at reduced rates, directly constraining Aramco's export route.
“Saudi Aramco has restarted its East-West pipeline (Petroline) after recent attacks temporarily halted operations. The pipeline, which has a capacity of 7 million bpd, is currently pumping at reduced rates, targeting around 4 million bpd as flows gradually rebuild.”
95% confidenceCited →Canadian crude oil imports →Shortage riskSaudi Arabia accounts for 4.9% of Canadian crude oil imports, so a Houthi pipeline attack that constrains Saudi export flows can reduce this import source.

HDPE/LLDPE resin and pipe →Shortage riskHDPE/LLDPE resin and pipe is a critical input for irrigation equipment, so a supply disruption directly constrains production availability.
90% confidenceHDPE/LLDPE resin and pipe →DelaysNetafim has a sizable dependency on this input, and a six-month replacement lag means the Saudi route disruption can stretch procurement lead times.

Hop 3
Dow Inc. →Shortage riskDow's HDPE resin dependence is exposed to a Saudi route-closure shock, which can restrict resin availability and raise replacement costs.
64% confidenceDow Inc. →Shortage riskTrinseo PLCTSEOQ
Trinseo disclosed that Dow supplied 59% of the MMA used in its PMMA production, so any Dow supply disruption would quickly create a material MMA shortage at Trinseo.

Disc & media filtration systems →Shortage riskDisc & media filtration systems are a critical upstream input to irrigation equipment, so a supply disruption here should reduce irrigation equipment availability.
88% confidenceHot-dip galvanized steel →Shortage riskHot-dip galvanized steel is a critical input to irrigation equipment, so a supply shock should constrain output rather than just nudge costs.
