Starting from Shipping containers, 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
Shipping containers →Prices easeCorten / Weathering Steel (Container Panels)
If world exports fall sharply, demand for new shipping containers weakens, reducing orders for the highest-dependency input, container-grade steel panels.
71% confidenceShipping containers →Prices easeISO Corner Castings (Malleable Iron)
A broad export contraction lowers container build volumes, which should soften demand and pricing for critical corner castings.
70% confidenceRice →DelaysUrea Nitrogen Fertilizer (46-0-0)
Rice is critically dependent on urea fertilizer, and a WTO-flagged collapse in global exports would likely stretch delivery lead times for this heavily traded input.
Hop 2
Urea Nitrogen Fertilizer (46-0-0) →Shortage riskUrea 46-0-0 is a critical, high-dependency input for rice, so a broad 27% collapse in world exports would likely tighten fertilizer availability and cause downstream rice output shortages.
80% confidenceISO Corner Castings (Malleable Iron) →Prices easeWith 82% of supply sourced from China, a broad export downturn would disproportionately فشار Chinese corner-casting production and prices.
76% confidenceISO Corner Castings (Malleable Iron) →Prices easeHop 3
China →Shortage riskChina supplies 98% of gallium, so a Chinese export shock would create an acute global gallium shortage.
99% confidenceChina →Shortage riskWith 95% of terbium supply tied to China, an export collapse there would sharply reduce global availability.
98% confidenceChina →Shortage riskArtificial Plant Plastics (PE/PP/PVC + Wire)
China provides 94.8% of this input category, so disruption to Chinese exports would materially constrain supply.

e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. →Shortage riskTarget is explicitly one of e.l.f. Beauty's largest customers at 18% of net sales, so a supply disruption at e.l.f. can make its products scarcer for Target.
66% confidencee.l.f. Beauty, Inc. →Shortage riskWalmart Inc.WMT
Walmart is explicitly one of e.l.f. Beauty's largest customers at 13% of net sales, so any supply interruption at e.l.f. can reduce product availability at Walmart.
