What happened
During the G7 conference in France, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The deal calls for Iran to use its best efforts to open the Strait to commercial shipping and not charge fees for 60 days. Under the agreement, U.S. sanctions against Iran will be lifted, and the U.S. will work with regional partners to secure $300 billion in reconstruction funds for Iran.
Why it matters
The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz coincided with crude oil prices edging lower on Thursday. The deal, which is a 14-point understanding, requires a final agreement to be reached within 60 days, though this deadline could be extended.
