US President Donald Trump's indecisiveness on Hormuz Strait toll fees has sent shockwaves through the global petrol tanker market. After initially reversing the fees, Trump later reinstated them, leaving operators in a state of uncertainty. This volatility has disrupted pricing models for major firms like BP, Shell, and Maersk, while Brent crude prices briefly dipped by 2.5%. The long-term stability of the market remains at risk, posing a critical challenge for global cargo logistics.
