The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday night passed a bipartisan 1-trillion-U.S.-dollar infrastructure bill after months of delay amid Democratic infighting over a social spending package, sending the long-waited legislation to President Joe Biden for his signature.
The package, first passed by the Senate in August, includes new funding for transportation, utilities and broadband, among other infrastructure projects.
"When it comes to the investment implications of the physical infrastructure bill, we don't expect passage to have much of a market impact because the spending will be spread out over several years and will take some time to start," Solita Marcelli, chief investment officer Americas at UBS Global Wealth Management, said Monday in a note.
Marcelli added that "there could be specific stock beneficiaries in areas including building materials and transportation infrastructure."
Investors are also awaiting key U.S. inflation readings this week with the producer price index on Tuesday and the consumer price index on Wednesday.
For the week ending Nov. 5, the Dow rose 1.4 percent, the S&P 500 increased 2 percent, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq rallied nearly 3.1 percent.
