Stocks Recover on Hopes Strait of Hormuz Could Soon Reopen

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Thursday closed up +0.11%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed down -0.13%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up +0.11%.  June E-mini S&P futures (ESM26) rose +0.08%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM26) rose +0.11%.
