REUTERS\/Andrew Kelly<\/figcaption><p>The bill, which now heads to the House of Representatives, could provide the nation\u2019s biggest investment in decades in roads, bridges, airports and waterways. Senators also began voting on a follow-up $3.5 trillion spending package that Democrats plan to pass without Republican votes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe market is looking at it as part one is a done deal, the market is OK with that,\u201d said Ken Polcari, managing partner at Kace Capital Advisors in Boca Raton, Florida.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not believe the market is going to be OK with $3.5 trillion but there is still the possibility they are able to block it, or slow it, and have more conversation so the market isn\u2019t focusing on that one yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Energy, industrials and materials, which stand to benefit from an economic recovery, were among the top performing S&amp;P sectors, while names such as Caterpillar, Deere and Vulcan Materials each rose about 2% as they are poised to reap the gains of infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n<p>The iShares US Infrastructure ETF rose 1.45% and the Global X US Infrastructure Development ETF advanced 2.19%.<\/p>\n<p>Energy shares were buoyed as recently beaten down crude prices jumped nearly 3%.<\/p>\n<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 162.82 points, or 0.46%, to 35,264.67, the S&amp;P 500 gained 4.4 points, or 0.10%, to 4,436.75 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 72.09 points, or 0.49%, to 14,788.09.<\/p>\n<p>With new coronavirus cases rising in the United States, progress on the infrastructure package should support the recovery in the world\u2019s largest economy.<\/p>\n<p>The rapid spread of the Delta variant has pushed COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations to a six-month high, with cases averaging 100,000 for three days in a row &#8211; up 35% over the past week.<\/p>\n<p>Investor will also watch inflation numbers this week for more insight into the Federal Reserve\u2019s monetary policy plans, in the wake of comments from two Fed officials on Monday that inflation was already at a level that could satisfy one portion of the requirement for the beginning of rate hikes.<\/p>\n<p>AMC Entertainment gave up early gains and ended the session 6.07% lower even after beating second-quarter revenue estimates as moviegoers returned to its theaters after a year of closures and restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City Southern gained 7.47% after Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd raised its offer for the U.S. railroad operator by about $2 billion to $27.29 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.19-to-1 ratio;
