In the utilities sector, Enel added 0.4%, while Eni climbed 1.4% as oil prices strengthened.

Among automakers, Ferrari rose 1.4% and Stellantis 2.4%.

Lottomatica jumped 6.8% after announcing a €500 million share buyback plan.

Infrastrutture Wireless and Diasorin were the only decliners.

FTSE MIB Recovers Partially on Iran-Oman Agreement
The FTSE MIB fell 0.2% to close at 45,625 on Thursday, turning muted after sharp morning losses as Iran and Oman reportedly drafted a protocol to monitor transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
