About CommodityNode
## What We Do
CommodityNode maps the **invisible connections** between raw material price movements and the industries, companies, and portfolios that feel their impact.
When crude oil jumps 15%, it doesn't just affect gas stations. The ripple reaches airlines, EV makers, plastics manufacturers, logistics companies, and a dozen more sectors — each in different directions, at different magnitudes.
We trace those ripples.
## Our Approach
Every analysis on CommodityNode is built around three principles:
**1. Quantify Everything**
We put numbers on impact. Not "airlines will suffer" but "airlines face an estimated −12% margin compression." Real estimates, properly caveated.
**2. Visualize Connections**
Our interactive D3.js node graphs let you see the full web of impact at a glance. Drag nodes, zoom in, hover for details. The graph is the analysis.
**3. Publish When It Matters**
Markets don't wait for monthly editorial calendars. We publish when commodity price moves create actionable intelligence.
## The Tech Stack
Every visualization on this site is built with:
- **D3.js** — Force-directed graphs, real-time layout
- **Pure CSS animations** — No heavy JS frameworks
- **Jekyll** — Fast, static, GitHub Pages hosted
