Trump retreated from a planned 20% charge on cargo shipments transiting the Strait of Hormuz just one day after introducing the fee, following pressure from US Gulf allies to drop it.

Market impact is likely more regional/shipping-focused than global, but it may still move risk sentiment around Middle East logistics.
