Market Brief
Investors have yet to react to the news that the Biden administration signed the US infrastructure bill into law after it was finally passed by US Senate after the Wall Street Closing bell on Friday.
Logic would dictate that stock will rise on the news, however, the notion that the bullish news may already be priced-in should also be considered. Additionally, indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Russell 2000 are probably going to benefit the most.

Thus far, European stocks have yet to stage much of a reaction, and Asian stocks remain rather muted, even after last Friday’s US monthly jobs report came in much better than economists expected.
