IRAN HOLDS FIRM ON HORMUZ TOLLS The U.S. has offered Iran access to frozen funds in exchange for dropping its demand to charge ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, but Tehran has refused. Iran continues to insist on controlling traffic and collecting transit fees, while Oman is proposing a voluntary maritime fund as negotiations over the key shipping route continue. *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) / Twitter · 07-03 00:43
EUROPE SEES HORMUZ FEES AS LIKELY Some European governments now believe transit fees for ships using the Strait of Hormuz may be unavoidable following the U.S.-Iran ceasefire. While the U.S. and Gulf states continue to oppose any charges, European officials are pushing for non-discriminatory rules and an international maritime coalition to safeguard shipping through the vital energy route. *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) / Twitter · 07-02 23:31

SAUDI OIL EXPORTS SURGE AFTER HORMUZ REOPENS Saudi Arabia is shipping its most crude through the Strait of Hormuz since the U.S.-Iran truce reopened the waterway. Four Bahri supertankers carrying about 8 million barrels have exited the Gulf, signaling higher exports. The increase follows Saudi Aramco's recent spot sales to Asia and reflects improving regional shipping flows as OPEC's top producer ramps up exports. *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) / Twitter · 07-02 20:19
HORMUZ TRAFFIC STAYS BELOW NORMAL Strait of Hormuz traffic remains steady, with 34 vessels passing through yesterday, according to Kpler.
