Infrastructure and the stock market — here’s what the $1 trillion deal means

Stock-market investors applauded Thursday, pushing the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.95% sharply higher and scoring another round of record finishes for the S&P 500 SPX, +0.58% and Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.69%, after President Joe Biden announced that he and a bipartisan group of lawmakers had a deal on a $1 trillion infrastructure package.

Construction-equipment maker Caterpillar Inc. CAT, +2.60%, a popular infrastructure play, was among upside leaders on the Dow, ending the day up more than 2%. More generally speaking, analysts said the deal will add to the fiscal spending tailwind already contributing momentum to the reopening of the U.S. economy. What’s more, many investors are penciling in additional spending beyond the scope of the package outlined by Biden and lawmakers on Thursday.
