India, July 24 -- Despite lingering concerns about Middle East tensions, German stocks climbed higher on Friday, pulling the benchmark DAX up from a near four-week low, thanks to some upbeat earnings and preliminary PMI data. A sharp drop in oil prices contributed as well to market's recovery.

Brent crude futures slipped to $96.40 a barrel before recovering to $96.90, but still remained as much as 3.7% down from previous close.
