The U.S. is preparing for diplomatic talks while former President Trump warned Iran over proposals to levy a fee on vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The threat raises short-term geopolitical risk to shipping, potentially pushing up oil prices, freight/insurance costs and regional risk premia if implemented or escalated. U.S. engagement to prepare talks may limit immediate market disruption but increases near-term volatility in energy and trade-related markets.
