- Global oil prices fell about 4% on Monday as the United States and Iran prepare to sign a memorandum of understanding this Friday in Switzerland, outlining steps to resume shipping.
- The Japanese Shipowners Association stated it wants 'more concrete information' before allowing 38 Japanese-linked vessels to pass through the strait, citing concerns over potential mines in the area.
- Anoop Singh, global head of shipping research at Oil Brokerage, noted that traffic could resolve in 8–10 days under unrestricted navigation, though physical freight rates will likely remain elevated.
