Three-month conflict between Iran and the US impacts global oil supply.
Oil markets are volatile this week due to concerns over Iran's potential plans to impose a fee on ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz as part of a peace agreement with the US. Brent crude prices dropped 2.8% to $98.47/barrel on Wednesday amid mixed signals on negotiations. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei denied plans for a toll but mentioned costs for navigation and ecosystem preservation. Experts warn of the principle of freedom of maritime flow being at stake and the potential for a $1/barrel levy, which could add to global oil prices or be absorbed by producers. The situation remains uncertain, with oil production in the region expected to take months to normalize.
