U.S. stocks recovered from a couple of down sessions as oil prices fell on hopes for progress toward an agreement between the U.S. and Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz. The rebound helped markets close a turbulent week on a positive note, with major indexes posting gains.

Investors focused on diplomatic signals, while energy shares declined alongside crude prices. The potential deal eased supply concerns, supporting broader risk appetite.

Trading remained cautious, but the late-week rally offset earlier losses. Analysts noted that volatility could persist as geopolitical talks continue.

Overall, the session marked a turnaround from recent declines, with technology and consumer stocks leading the advance.
