The Dow on Wednesday booked a fifth gain in a row and the broader stock market rallied as sharp gains in energy, financials and technology stocks propelled the main benchmarks firmly higher.

Energy-related stocks scored a lift after President Donald Trump’s decision a day earlier to pull the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal and resume sanctions against the oil-producing nation prompted investors to bet on higher prices ahead for the commodity.

What are markets doing?

The S&P 500 gained 25.87 points to 2,697.79, a gain of 1%, with nine of the 11 main sectors finishing higher.

Energy shares jumped 2%, by far the best performer among the S&P 500 sectors. But gains were broad based, with financials, material, industrials and technology sectors each gained more than 1%. Meanwhile, telecoms and utilities were the only laggards, down 1.1% and 0.8%, respectively.

The Nasdaq Composite Index added 73.00 points, or 1%, to 7,349.91.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 182.33 points, or 0.8%, to 24,542.54, with 23 of the 30 blue-chip companies finishing in positive territory. Walmart Inc. led losses, while DowDuPont Inc. led Dow component gainers.

What is driving the market?

A rally in oil prices helped lift U.S.-listed energy companies. West Texas Intermediate oil jumped 3%, to settle at $71.14 a barrel. Trump said the U.S. intends to impose sanctions on Iran, curbing the country’s oil exports and tightening global oil supply.

Also affecting oil markets were data from the Energy Information Administration, which showed that crude-oil stockpiles fell more than expected in the latest week.

Among Federal Reserve speakers, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, on Wednesday, said he believed that stimulus to investment spending from the recent Republican tax cut package may be being dampened by uncertainty over changes in U.S. trade policy, speaking at the World Affairs Council in Jacksonville, Fla. Bostic is a voting member of the Fed’s rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee.

What are strategists saying?

“A lot of people had reduced their exposure to stocks ahead of Trump’s announcement on Iran on Tuesday and when the markets did not sell off, traders went back in. What we are seeing today looks like a relief rally that took the S&P 500 to the high end of its recent range,” said Ian Winer, head of the equities division at Wedbush Securities.

“At least for now, investors are not anticipating a big fallout from the Iran sanctions. That may change however,” Winer said.

“It’s difficult to discern how much of Trump’s decision was priced into stocks, and how big of a risk it represents, though it is certainly helping to sustain and extend the crude-oil rally today,” said Ryan Crane, who oversees $5 billion in assets as chief investment officer at Stephens Investment Management Group.
