IEA speeds emergency oil release
An emergency oil release would add crude oil supply to the market and ease tightness in physical oil availability.

How it reaches your house.
Starting from Canadian crude oil imports, 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
Canadian crude oil imports →Prices riseA thinner oil supply cushion makes crude feedstock tighter and more expensive, and jet fuel is a strongly dependent downstream input of this crude stream.
69% confidenceCanadian crude oil imports →Stands to benefitCanada is the dominant supply source at 60.9%, so a tighter crude market with upward price pressure would disproportionately help the main supplier.

Canada →Shortage riskUnited States Antimony Corp.UAMY
The filing says it historically received most of its antimony ore from one supplier in Canada, so a Canada-side disruption should tighten ore availability.
87% confidenceCanada →Shortage riskSolution Mining Brine Water (Saskatchewan Potash)
Canada accounts for 100% of this input's supply share, so any Canada-side shock would directly reduce its availability.

Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) →Prices riseCleaning and sanitation supplies
Cleaning and sanitation supplies depend heavily on LAB (dependency strength 0.9, critical input), so a tighter upstream oil supply cushion can transmit as higher LAB input costs.

Cleaning and sanitation supplies →Prices easeIPA is an oil-linked solvent input, so additional crude supply would likely lower its input costs.

LABSA/LAS is a critical surfactant input for cleaning products, and extra crude supply should ease its petrochemical feedstock costs.
