Sector Supply Lines

Where physical inputs go, and whether the sectors they feed moved with them.

A related view of the same world is written up by the Sector desk. Its latest edition is written from a live reading at its slot; every figure on this page is a stored close.

Where a physical input goes, and whether the sector it ends in moved the way the input did. Numbers appear only at the two ends, the input and the sector ETF; everything between is a relationship and not a reading.

Sector closes as of 2026-10-02. Moves are over the trailing 30 days; under 1% either way counts as flat. Colour is direction only, not good or bad.

This is a curated set of the clearest direct links, not a full input-output graph. A comprehensive version would need the BEA input-output tables.

What this page does not have

  • No freight, trucking, shipping or port series, so the diesel path is a fuel cost and never a freight rate.
  • No wage, hiring, job-openings or layoff series, so there is no labour channel.
  • No tariff, subsidy or policy record, so there is no policy channel.
  • No industry-level measurement, so every intermediate node is a relationship and not a reading.
  • No intraday series, so every figure is a daily close.
