US stock indices reached new highs despite the ongoing Iran war, driven by AI enthusiasm and a resilient US economy. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Philadelphia Semiconductor indices hit record levels as investors prioritized AI innovation over geopolitical concerns.

Analysts suggest a combination of factors, including AI investment, US economic outperformance, robust company profits, market resilience, and potentially a speculative bubble, are fueling the rally, though future risks remain.
