Iran plans tolls for vessels in Strait of Hormuz amid US tensions

Iran is maintaining the closure of the Strait of Hormuz until the US meets specific deal conditions, while planning to implement tolls for vessels. These actions, coupled with Trump's criticism of US allies, are exacerbating geopolitical tensions and disrupting global oil markets. Consequently, global bond yields have reached multi-decade highs due to inflation, the AI boom, and instability, potentially driving investors toward gold and reshaping maritime economic strategies amid the ongoing US-Iran standoff.
