The sharp rebound was largely driven by reports that US and Iranian officials had reached an initial agreement to end the conflict between the two countries.
According to reports, the agreement includes the lifting of the US naval blockade on Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important routes for oil transportation.
US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the deal with Iran had been completed and confirmed the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The development helped reduce fears of supply disruptions and broader geopolitical risks.

The positive sentiment was visible in international markets as well.
Comex silver futures for July delivery climbed USD 2.39, or 3.53%, to USD 70.37 per ounce in New York trading. The metal had declined nearly 2% during the previous week before staging a strong recovery.
Market experts said investors welcomed the possibility of improved stability in the region, which helped support precious metal prices.
