U.S. stocks are rising today, with the S&P 500 hitting a new record high.

The index rose about 0.6% in afternoon trading Tuesday and hit a new all-time intraday high above 7840. If it holds its recent gains, the S&P will top the all-time closing high it hit back in August.

The Dow industrials and the Nasdaq are also up today. The tech-heavy index is on track to hit a second consecutive record.

Brent crude futures pared losses, now trading around $100, or close to flat on the day. Oil traders are weighing a pickup in shipments through the Strait of Hormuz against Iran's attempts to curb flows with attacks on tankers.
