Last week, the U.S. Congress passed a $1 trillion bill that will fund the building or rebuilding of roads, bridges, airports, railways and public transit. A huge portion will be allocated to addressing the climate change, like upgrading energy grids, adding electric vehicle charging stations, increasing renewable energy production. Another portion will be poured into cybersecurity, clean water and waste treatment systems, broadband internet connections and more.
Being one of the main beneficiary industries of this development, the news sent materials stocks of the S&P 500 higher with +4.23% gains in the last 5 days. In the ETF space, SPDR Select Sector Materials ETF (XLBn), Vanguard Materials ETF (VAW) and iShares S&P 500 Materials Sector UCITS ETF (IUMS) gained around +4.5% this month.
