India, April 14 -- French stocks climbed higher on Tuesday amid hopes the U.S. and Iran will make some positive moves in a fresh round of discussions to end their ongoing conflict. A drop in oil prices contributed as well to market's upside.

Brent crude futures fell to $96.50 a barrel earlier in the day, and despite recovering to $98.75, still remained below previous closing level.
