Trump's Flip-Flop on Hormuz Toll Sparks Petrol Tanker Market Turmoil

US President Donald Trump's indecisiveness on Hormuz Strait toll fees has sent shockwaves through the global petrol tanker market. After initially reversing the fees, Trump later reinstated them, leaving operators in a state of uncertainty. This volatility has disrupted pricing models for major firms like BP, Shell, and Maersk, while Brent crude prices briefly dipped by 2.5%. The long-term stability of the market remains at risk, posing a critical challenge for global cargo logistics.
