Question
U.S. announces 20% cargo toll on non-Iranian ships transiting Strait of Hormuz
Direct answer
The toll announcement is feeding into higher freight and delivered crude costs, compounding Monday’s ~9–10% spike in Brent and WTI and supporting further strength in energy-linked currencies and tanker stocks, while raising risk premia across Middle East curves.[2][6][11][12]
