How it reaches your house.
Starting from Frontline plc, 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
Panamax / Capesize Bulk Vessel Freight →DelaysPotash and phosphate fertilizers
Renewed Hormuz disruption impairs dry-bulk transits, and this fertilizer cargo depends heavily on Panamax/Capesize freight, so shipments slow.
79% confidencePanamax / Capesize Bulk Vessel Freight →DelaysThe Hormuz shipping disruption slows dry-bulk crossings, which delays bulk shipment of steel and iron products.
75% confidenceQatarEnergy →Shortage riskHelium-rich natural gas feedstock
QatarEnergy is a large supplier of this stream, and continued risk to LNG shipments through Hormuz can constrain outbound deliveries; the 39% share and 36-month replacement time make the supply hit material.
Hop 2
Semiconductor-Grade Helium (6N) →Shortage riskSpecialty gases for chip fabrication
Semiconductor-grade helium is a critical input to chip-fabrication specialty gases, so any tightening in helium supply directly makes those gases scarcer.
94% confidenceNatural Gas (Roasting Fuel) →DelaysQatar is exposed to Strait of Hormuz LNG transit risk, so the threatened shipping route can delay its natural-gas supply.
84% confidenceNatural Gas (Roasting Fuel) →DelaysIran's supply share is likewise exposed to Hormuz-related shipping risk, so deliveries can be delayed.
Hop 3
Iron ore (direct shipping ore & pellets) →Prices riseIron ore is a critical input to steel and iron products, so any disruption or higher freight cost transmitting through iron ore tends to raise steel input costs.
80% confidenceIran →Prices riseNatural Gas (Pipeline-Grade, >95% Methane)
Iran's 7% supply share makes pipeline-grade gas a meaningful marginal market, so lingering Hormuz risk can support higher delivered gas prices.
78% confidenceIran →Prices riseHop 4
Natural Gas →Prices riseSEMPRASRE
Sempra has already disclosed higher average natural-gas prices driving higher gas costs, so this shock pushes its costs up again.
93% confidenceBitumen / Asphalt Binder →Shortage riskBitumen / Asphalt Binder is a critical 0.95-dependency input for asphalt and paving materials, so a supply shock at this node should transmit as a downstream shortage.
91% confidenceNatural Gas →Prices rise
