AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoUS-Iran Escalation: The US carried out “self-defence” strikes in southern Iran, targeting missile sites and boats accused of laying mines near the Strait of Hormuz, even as diplomats push on in Qatar. CENTCOM said two Iranian boats were “eliminated” and a surface-to-air missile site near Bandar Abbas was hit, while officials stressed the ceasefire remains in place. Market Mood: Gulf stocks mostly rose on fading risk, but oil slid sharply as traders bet on a deal—then questioned how fast shipping and supplies can truly normalize. Hormuz Fees Fight: Iran again denied it will impose “tolls,” pointing instead to separate charges for navigation and environmental services via a mechanism with Oman. Oman Angle: Oman is repeatedly named in the navigation/fees framework as the region tries to keep trade moving without turning the strait into a paywall. Trade Flow Watch: LNG and crude tankers have started trickling out toward Pakistan and China, signaling cautious reopening—while the next flare-up risk is still very real.
