Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021

-

This law, which received bipartisan support, will upgrade U.S. infrastructure and incentivize businesses within that sector to become increasingly competitive.

From roads, bridges, to broadband networks and water infrastructure… the government is about to invest in pretty much any system that connects people, companies, and data.

Single-handedly, the government created a massive profit boost for the companies involved in this legislation – and a disadvantage for those who are not.

Today, I will remind you why the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 will become a key performance driver for stocks in multiple industries this year… and how it will unlock a floodgate of investment opportunities.

When completed, the bridge will allow more traffic and goods to cross. It will improve supply chains, which were constricted since the old bridge, built in the 1960s, couldn’t handle the amount of goods moving through it – such as more than $1 billion worth of freight every day.

This is called the “multiplier effect.”

The World Bank estimates that a dollar spent on infrastructure creates about $1.5 in economic activity.

So, a $1.2-trillion bill could roughly create $1.8 trillion in economic activity.

Overall, the nationwide infrastructure project is a trillion-dollar trend that started back in November 2021 and has recently begun to make its way into the economy.

Higher interest rates not lowering interest rates

  As I dug into the data this morning, I found a few things that were interesting. First, January’s 0.5% acceleration in the CPI was the  most since October 2022  (also 0.5%) and you have to go back to June 2022 for a higher monthly acceleration. The general consensus is that higher rates should lead to lower inflation. This means the 2-year inflation expectations in the market should be declining as the Fed gets more aggressive, but as Lisa Abramowicz pointed out this morning, inflation expectations in the market have actually been increasing over the last 6 months. Lisa Abramowicz @lisaabramowicz1 U.S. 2-year inflation expectations have surged over the past six months, despite tighter Fed policy. 1:16 PM ∙ Mar 2, 2023 86 Likes 35 Retweets Inflation expectations are not the only place where the market is being distorted by this central bank intervention though.  Charlie Bilello points out  that US Treasury yields have gone from historic lows to 16-year highs in...

Global Sea to SK

  Shipping companies appear to be attractively priced right now. The U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo Index (SEAX) currently has a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of just over 2.0, which is significantly lower than stocks in related sectors and industries (transportation and industrials), as well as the S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq-100. The U.S. Global Sea to Sky ETF (NYSE: SEA) seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of SEAX, a 29-stock index that provides diversified access to the global sea shipping and air freight industries. The index uses various fundamental screens to determine the most efficient sea shipping, air freight and port companies in the world.
