First impact
Ammunition →Shortage riskNitrocellulose Smokeless Powder (Propellant)
Ammunition depends critically on nitrocellulose as its propellant, so sanctions that restrict ammunition production can make this input harder to obtain.
74% confidenceAmmunition →Shortage riskLead Styphnate (Primer Explosive Compound)
This is a critical primer input for ammunition, so a sanctions-driven ammo disruption plausibly tightens its availability.
71% confidenceHop 2
Nitrocellulose Smokeless Powder (Propellant) →Shortage riskNitrocellulose smokeless powder is a critical ammunition input, so sanctions that tighten this propellant transmit almost one-for-one into ammunition shortages.
96% confidenceLead Styphnate (Primer Explosive Compound) →Shortage riskAmmunition depends critically on lead styphnate, so sanctions that restrict weapons-related trade would directly create a severe input shortage.
90% confidenceLead Styphnate (Primer Explosive Compound) →Shortage riskHop 3
Czechoslovak Group (CSG) →Prices easeLead Styphnate (Primer Explosive Compound)
If sanctions curb CSG's weapons production, its demand for lead styphnate falls; with a 25% market share on this dependency and only moderate substitutability, the input market should see weaker prices.
71% confidenceRUAG Ammotec →Prices easeLead Styphnate (Primer Explosive Compound)
If sanctions curtail RUAG Ammotec's ammunition production, its 5% demand for lead styphnate falls, creating mild downward pressure on this input's price.
