Stocks rose, and oil prices eased as financial markets calmed a day after President Donald Trump raised doubts about the temporary truce in the war with Iran.
The S&P 500 climbed 0.8% Thursday and more than recovered its loss form the day before. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 1.3%.
Oil prices gave back much of their jumps from the day before on worries about increased fighting in the Middle East. That helped Treasury yields ease in the bond market, which relaxed the pressure on other markets.
Stock indexes rose in much of Europe and Asia.
