Immediate disruption to logistics, retail, aviation - then rebuild demand for cement/construction materials/pumps over 2-3 months
Capital
Money rotates FROM insurance (claim shock) TO cement / pump / construction-material winners
How it spreads across sectors
Cement
+1-2% local volume uptick over 2-3 months post-rebuild
Construction Materials
Sand, aggregates, paints all positive in 1-3 months
Financial Services
Insurer claims short-term; reinsurance lifts later
Infrastructure
