    Iran and Oman make progress on joint routing and fee‑based security deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz

    Question

    Iran and Oman make progress on joint routing and fee‑based security deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz

    Direct answer

    Prospects of a structured reopening with security fees support Omani fiscal and current‑account outlook, benefiting Oman sovereign bonds (OMAN 2032s) and the MSM30 index, while easing some upside pressure on Brent crude (CO1:COM) and improving sentiment in global tanker operators — bullish pressure on MSM30.
