01
Real data, no synthetic inputs
The framework uses a public daily panel from January 2020 to April 2026, built to study cross-block transmission under live geopolitical stress rather than only abstract macro shock.
What the market sees first is not the whole transmission.
Most coverage stops at oil, LNG, freight, and volatility. This research tracks the slower, easier-to-miss industrial channel: helium logistics into semiconductor fabrication, and from there into AI-compute capacity.
02
Two-layer transmission
The first layer is immediate and visible: energy, freight, rates, FX, volatility. The second layer is slower: helium pressure feeding semiconductor stress and downstream compute constraints.
03
Long-horizon bottleneck
At the 64-day scale, the structure sharpens rather than disappears. Sparse CCA collapses the quarterly regime into a single Brent↔SOX direction with a held-out correlation of 0.825.
Today's live framing
Hormuz is not only an oil story. The delayed risk may be in chips and AI compute.
The visible shock reprices fast. The industrial bottleneck arrives later, when helium logistics, fab allocation, and downstream technology risk start to matter more than the first headline.
