The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) spent a second consecutive day in the green on Wednesday, lifting 0.87% to close at 7,015.6 points.

It came as the market prepared to learn of the United States Federal Reserve's next interest rate move. Meanwhile, investors around the globe appear to have regained some confidence following recent banking chaos, which continued this week with UBS's planned acquisition of Credit Suisse.

Back home, the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) outperformed today, gaining 4.2% amid rising oil prices. The price of the black liquid improved around 2% overnight.

The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) also performed well, lifting 1.3% today.

But not all sectors were winners. The S&P/ASX 200 Real Estate Index (ASX: XRE) posted a 0.4% tumble and gold shares slumped alongside the yellow metal's value amid improved confidence in the banking sector.

So, with all that covered, let's take a look at which ASX 200 shares posted the biggest gain on Wednesday.
