US and Iranian negotiators explore a phased deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
Question
US and Iranian negotiators explore a phased deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
Direct answer
A credible reopening framework introduces a downside risk to the Hormuz supply premium and could lower tanker insurance and freight costs if implemented, while an agreement would weaken the oil and safe-haven premia built into the conflict.
