In Washington on Tuesday, the U.S. Senate finally passed President Biden’s US$1-trillion infrastructure bill which now goes to the House of Representatives for approval. Though investors are keeping an eye on the Delta variant, they pushed the Dow 0.46% to a record close of 35,264 while adding 0.1% to the S&P. The Nasdaq, which has recently made new highs, gave back 0.49%. Except tech, the major Dow components rallied.

Naturally, industrials jumped up, including Caterpillar by 2.48% while Walmart rose 2.13%. Salesforce slid 2.38%, Intuitive Surgical slipped 3.53% while Moderna gave back 5.72% after days of strong gains. The battle of Kansas City Southern flared up as KSU jumped 7.47% after Canadian Pacific upped its bid against CN.

CP itself fell 1.19% and CNR nearly as much. However, the TSX hit a new high of 20,495 as WTI crude surged 3% and WCS by 3.5%. Financials also fueled the rally while real estate lagged. The day’s big gainers included tech upstart Nuvei which announced a blow-out quarter and soared 15%. Denison Mines leapt 7%, CNQ popped 2.6% and Royal Bank edged up 0.78% to an all-time high. Meanwhile, the price of gold held steady as Bitcoin added 0.35%.
