0832 GMT - European stocks are getting a boost from investors' hopes for a U.S.-Iran deal to end the conflict, with the Stoxx Europe 600 index closing in on erasing the last of its losses since the war began. In a session of subdued trading with several European markets closed, including the U.K. and Switzerland, the Stoxx Europe 600 rises 0.7% to 629.44 points. The pan-European index is at its highest level in almost three months, at levels last seen before the conflict started. European stocks have been slower to recover from the war hit than U.S. peers, as the S&P rose past prewar levels in mid-April. (adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
