Here are highlights from Wednesday’s Analyst Blog:
ETFs to Play U.S. Infrastructure Overhaul
Since when the blue wave of Democrats hit the U.S. economic shores, the investing case for a few sectors strengthened. Among the lot, infrastructure is a prominent one. In his presidential campaign, Joe Biden proposed a $1.3 trillion infrastructure overhaul.
On Aug 1, Senate introduced a bipartisan infrastructure bill of $550 billion in addition to the previously approved funds of $450 billion for five years. The 2,702-page legislation is aimed at establishing the United States with the world's best economic infrastructure. Total spending may go up to $1.2 trillion if the plan is extended to eight years.
The infrastructure bill will provide $100 billion toward roads, bridges and other major projects. The plan allocates $39 billion to modernize public transit and improve access for disabled people.
In addition, the bill has proposed $66 billion for passenger and freight rail, $15 billion for electric vehicles and buses, and $17 billion for airports, ports and waterways. The plan will invest $50 billion and $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.
Against this backdrop, below we highlight a few ETFs that could prove to be winning ones.
