The memorandum includes a $300bn investment agreement and new transit fees for Hormuz Strait traffic, reshaping regional trade dynamics.
Iran and the US have digitally signed a memorandum of understanding, including a $300bn investment deal, without a physical ceremony in Switzerland. The agreement confirms Tehran’s plan to charge for transit through the Hormuz Strait, deviating from pre-war conditions.
Negotiating teams will still meet in Geneva as scheduled, though the MoU was finalized remotely. The deal follows recent Fed policy shifts under Chair Warsh, which have already influenced market expectations for higher rates and inflation focus.
The $300bn investment component is expected to impact energy and trade flows, while the Fed’s hawkish signals continue to drive volatility in bond markets.
