Refinitiv cited a senior Iranian source saying an interim Iran-Oman plan for the Strait of Hormuz would give Iran full control over all inbound shipping. Under the proposal, Oman would only clear outbound vessels after notifying Iranian officials, enabling Tehran to monitor traffic and retain the right to intervene. The source said Iran is unlikely to accept any other proposal to reopen the strait.

Bank of Japan data indicate that despite a sudden yen surge on Monday that had traders pricing in a third consecutive day of FX intervention, Japan may not have intervened that day. BoJ's forecast for Wednesday money-market conditions shows a funding shortfall of ¥3.38 trillion (about $21.4 billion), above broker estimates of ¥2.32–2.6 trillion. Data published Tuesday showed no large outflows from BoJ current-account balances; large outflows are typically linked to the size of government FX intervention.
