Starting from Tata Steel, 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
Algoma Steel Inc. →supply upHigh-Strength Steel Plate (Apparatus Grade)
The planned new US steel complex should add future steel output and improve availability in the steel-plate market that Algoma supplies at a 12% share.
61% confidenceUnited States Steel Corporation →Shortage riskIf Essar's new U.S. steel capacity pressures U.S. Steel's production and purchasing, SunCoke would likely lose a meaningful customer stream, and the filing quote shows U.S. Steel is a material revenue/customer exposure.

High-Strength Steel Plate (Apparatus Grade) →supply upFirefighting equipment and supplies
This critical 75%-weighted input into firefighting equipment should become more available if US steel capacity expands.
83% confidenceHigh-Strength Steel Plate (Apparatus Grade) →supply upNew domestic steel capacity should lift the US share and availability of this plate, which already supplies 60% of the mix.

Coke and Flux Reagents (silica, lime) for Smelting →Stands to benefitA large new US steel build should increase coke demand, and SunCoke's 18% share plus a 6-month replacement lead time makes it a strong beneficiary.
83% confidenceCoke and Flux Reagents (silica, lime) for Smelting →Stands to benefitThe added steel capacity should lift lime consumption, benefiting Lhoist's 15% supply share despite relatively easy substitutability.

U.S. Silica →Prices riseCoke and Flux Reagents (silica, lime) for Smelting
A large US steel-capacity buildout should lift demand for silica/lime smelting reagents, and this supply relationship is only moderately tight given 3-month lead time and high substitutability.
58% confidenceSunCoke Energy, Inc. →Prices riseCoke and Flux Reagents (silica, lime) for Smelting
A large new US steel capacity buildout should lift SunCoke's production needs, which raises demand for this input and pushes its cost up; the effect is moderated by only 18% share, 0.55 substitutability, and a six-month replacement lead time.
57% confidenceAdvanced high-strength steel (AHSS) and ultra-HSS sheets →supply up
