How it reaches your house.
Starting from Steel and iron products, 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
Pipeline Steel (Large-Diameter Line Pipe) →Stands to benefitThe tariff-driven rerouting of large-diameter welded pipe into the U.S. is a direct upside for Türkiye as a source country, though its share of this input is small (2.9%).
83% confidenceUnited States Steel Corporation →Prices easeGalvalume / Galvanized Steel Coil
The surge of Turkish steel into the U.S. market adds supply pressure to a U.S. Steel product line with 10% share and high substitutability, which should दब reduce realized prices.
62% confidenceUnited States Steel Corporation →Prices easeSteel Casing Sheet (HVAC cabinet)
More imported steel reaching the U.S. likely compresses pricing in this sheet segment, and U.S. Steel's 12% market share with very high substitutability makes the effect plausible.
Hop 2
Galvalume / Galvanized Steel Coil →supply upMore imported galvanized coil in the US should ease availability for a downstream product that directly depends on it, and the graph marks Roofing materials as materially dependent on this input.
81% confidenceGalvalume / Galvanized Steel Coil →Prices easeBlueScope Steel LimitedBSL.AX
BlueScope is a sizable 22% supplier in this market, so a Turkish import surge can pressure incumbent supplier pricing, though low substitutability and long replacement lead time soften the hit.
64% confidenceSteel Casing Sheet (HVAC cabinet) →Prices easeHop 3
Roofing materials →supply upGalvalume / Galvanized Steel Coil
A rerouting of Turkish steel exports toward the U.S. should make galvanized steel coil more available in the U.S. market, and roofing materials rely on that input.
