Stocks & ETFs Winners From Senate’s Nod for Infrastructure Bill


Wall Street loudly cheered the Senate’s approval of President Biden’s $1-trillion infrastructure plan. The two major indices, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500, climbed to new record highs as the development stimulated a rally in stocks tied to economic growth. The bill will now be moved to the House of Representatives, per a Reuters article.

The Senate has passed the bipartisan infrastructure bill of $550 billion in addition to the previously-approved funds of $450 billion for five years. Total spending may go up to $1.2 trillion if the plan is extended to eight years.

According to the White House, the proposal will allocate about $100 billion toward the development of roads, bridges and other major projects and $66 billion toward passenger and freight rail. Going on, about $15 billion will be invested toward electric vehicle infrastructure and electric buses and transit, much lesser than what Biden had initially proposed. The bill will also include $11 billion for reducing car crashes and fatalities through a “Safe Streets for All” program. The plan allocates $39 billion to modernize public transit and improve access for disabled people.

Furthermore, the bill has provided $17 billion for airports, ports and waterways. The plan will invest $50-$55 billion in water infrastructure and clean water projects, respectively. Moreover, $65 billion will be invested in high-speed Internet (broadband), $21 billion in environmental clean-up and $73 billion in Power infrastructure, per the verified sources.

Stocks Riding the Bill Approval

Leading producer of structural steel, steel bars, steel joists, steel deck and cold-finished bars in the United States, Nucor Corp. NUE surged around 9.6% on the passage of infrastructure bill on Aug 10.

Another stock United States Steel Corp. X that produces and sells flat-rolled and tubular steel products primarily in North America and Europe also jumped 4.7% on the news.

Joining the group was Caterpillar Inc. CAT, a manufacturer and seller of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives worldwide, which rose around 2.5% on Aug 10.

Going on, Vulcan Materials Company VMC, which is engaged in production, distribution and sale of construction aggregates and other construction materials in the United States and Mexico, also rode the rally with 2.2% gains.

Crane Co. CR, which manufactures and sells engineered industrial products in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, and internationally, also rose about 2.9% on the news.
