The market transmission
Discussion of normalization mechanisms is diplomatic positioning rather than a concrete operational shift. Hormuz transits have not been disrupted in the signal, so there is no supply risk to price. The statement flags Seoul's interest in maintaining Gulf access but does not alter the current tanker route or cost structure.

What would change this
Normalization talks are a process, not an outcome. A stated intention to cooperate does not move shipping rates or oil prices unless and until transits are actually constrained or resume after a halt. The signal is positioning, not flows.
