How it reaches your house.
Starting from Rheinmetall, 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
China Minmetals Rare Earth Co. →Shortage riskIf China Minmetals Rare Earth Co. faces export restrictions, its 20% share of terbium metal supply is likely to be shipped less freely, making Tb metal scarcer for downstream buyers.
84% confidenceChina Minmetals Rare Earth Co. →Shortage riskExport restrictions would constrain shipments from a supplier with an 18% share of dysprosium metal and very limited substitutability, producing a material shortage.
83% confidenceChina Minmetals Rare Earth Co. →Shortage riskLanthanum Oxide (FCC additive)
With an 18% supply share and a 48-month replacement horizon, export limits on this supplier would reduce available lanthanum oxide for customers.
Hop 2
Nitrocellulose Smokeless Powder (Propellant) →Shortage riskThis input has a 0.95 critical dependency on ammunition, so any propellant shortage should pass through strongly to ammunition output.
94% confidenceRare Earth Oxides (Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb) →Shortage riskRare earth oxides are a critical input to home appliances, so tighter supply can reduce output and extend lead times for appliance makers.
93% confidenceLanthanum Oxide (FCC additive) →Prices riseLanthanum oxide FCC additive is a critical refining input, so a China-induced supply squeeze can raise gasoline and diesel production costs and prices.
Hop 3
China →Shortage riskChina supplies 98% of gallium, so export restrictions from China would sharply reduce available supply.
99% confidenceChina →Shortage riskArtificial Plant Plastics (PE/PP/PVC + Wire)
China accounts for 94.8% of supply, so export restrictions from China would leave this input markedly scarcer.
98% confidenceChina →Shortage riskChina supplies 95% of terbium metal, so export restrictions would materially tighten global availability.
