Iran's Tolling Regime On Hormuz Chokepoint Would Set "Dangerous Precedent," IMO Warns The ceasefire deal in the six-week US-Iran conflict remained in doubt by late week, as Israel intensified its bombardment of Beirut, Tehran kept the Hormuz chokepoint closed, and negotiators prepared to meet on Friday even as both sides declared victory. Reports of attacks on one of Saudi Arabia's Red Sea ports, alongside the continued closure of Hormuz, did little to reassure traders in the overnight session. Risk sentiment remained fragile on Thursday morning, with equities across Asia and Europe trading lower and U.S. equity futures subdued. Brent crude hovered around $98 per barrel. With the Hormuz chokepoint now in continued focus, reports have circulated that Iran may demand cryptocurrency payments from shipping companies for oil tankers transiting this critical waterway. Hamid Hosseini, a spokesperson for Iran's Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters' Union, told the Financial Times on Wednesday that Iran wanted to collect toll fees from tankers passing through the strait and inspect each vessel. "Iran needs to monitor what goes in and out of the strait to ensure these two weeks aren't used for transferring weapons," said Hosseini. "Everything can pass through, but the procedure will take time for each vessel, and Iran is not in a rush." He said the transit toll for the critical waterway would be $1 per barrel of oil, adding, "Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, vessels are given only a few seconds to pay in bitcoin, ensuring they can't be traced or confiscated due to sanctions." According to Arsenio Dominguez, head of the International Maritime Organization, imposing tolls at the maritime chokepoint would set a dangerous precedent and break with established international maritime norms, he told Bloomberg TV earlier. "This is a dangerous precedent," Dominguez said. "What we cannot have is a different or parallel approach where another country int...

Samsung Electronics Co. plans a $4 billion outlay to build a chip packaging plant in northern Vietnam, as the country’s largest foreign investor expands its footprint in the country. The investment in Thai Nguyen province will be implemented in several phases, with the first consisting of a $2 billion outlay, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because the information is private. A representative for Samsung declined to comment. Vietnam ’s finance ministry confirmed it’s working on a memorandum of understanding with Samsung on plans for a semiconductor project in a statement released Thursday , without giving details. Samsung and its global peers are expanding at a rapid pace to meet rising demand for chips that go into data centers and gadgets running artificial intelligence services. The South Korean conglomerate was an early investor in Vietnam, building its first factory in the northern province of Bac Ninh in 2008. Since then, Vietnam has evolved into the company’s largest global phone manufacturing base, with another factory to produce smartphones in Thai Nguyen established in 2013 . One of Asia’s fastest-growing economies, Vietnam has emerged as a manufacturing powerhouse as firms diversify production away from China to hedge against the impacts of Beijing’s trade war with the US. Last year, Vietnam defied expectations of a slowdown during President Donald Trump ’s global tariff blitz, and instead sent record shipments to its biggest outbound market. As Vietnam’s largest exporter, Samsung sits at the heart of the country’s manufacturing ecosystem, anchoring a vast supply chain that spans smartphones, components and increasingly higher-value activities such as displays and R&D. The company has been instrumental in helping transform Vietnam into a global electronics hub, drawing in a network of suppliers and boosting industrial capacity, even as much of the value chain remains dependent on imported inputs and foreign firm...
