The S&P 500 crossed 7000 again. We've seen this movie before, but it is worth sitting through.

The index on Wednesday tallied its first intraday and closing record highs since the start of the Iran conflict.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rose to new all-time highs on Wednesday, building on the week's strong gains as investors remained hopeful about the Iran war potentially ending soon. CNBC's Seema Mody breaks down the stocks making the biggest moves.

Investors remain hopeful that the U.S. and Iran can reach a peace deal.

US equities surged to fresh record levels on renewed optimism that the conflict in the Middle East could move toward a resolution. The S&P 500 rose 0.5%, edging above its previous late-January peak, while the Nasdaq 100 advanced 0.7% as technology stocks continued to lead gains.

Just eight days ago, International Energy Agency Chief Fatih Birol declared the world was facing the largest energy supply disruption in modern history.

The S&P 500 closed at a new record high Wednesday, its first ​since the U.S.-Iran conflict began, as hopes of a de-escalation in ‌the war and robust earnings expectations drew investors back into risk assets.

The broader benchmark S&P 500 fell nearly 8% at its lows amid the Iran War. Geopolitical wars make things very unpredictable.
