Stocks were on track to rise Wednesday after more details about the U.S.-Iran peace deal leaked, bolstering hopes that the two countries are on the brink of reaching an agreement to end the war in the Middle East. Futures tracking the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 gained 0.5%, while S&P 500 futures added 0.1%.

The Dow Jones hit a new high and SpaceX kept rising. But chips and most AI stocks fell. Fed chief Kevin Warsh's comments will be in focus Wednesday.

The two key Nasdaq stock benchmarks will treat SpaceX very differently at first. The Nasdaq composite, a benchmark that includes virtually every stock that trades on the Nasdaq exchange, has already added SpaceX, weighted according to the company's full market cap of nearly $3 trillion. Nasdaq has long added companies listed on its exchange to this benchmark on their second day of trading.
