AP Moller-Maersk A/S shares fell 7% after the shipping giant warned that the war in Iran adds $472.7M to its monthly fuel costs. Bunker fuel prices surged from $600 to nearly $1,000 per metric ton as the conflict disrupted global trade routes. Sustained energy costs and vessel overcapacity threaten to erode margins despite Maersk beating first-quarter EBITDA expectations of $1.66B.
