Shares hit new highs on Thursday after the announcement by the White House and a group of bipartisan lawmakers of a $ 1 trillion infrastructure deal. These expenses, if that happens. could serve as a modest boost to economic growth and create a new source of income for construction and manufacturing companies.

Value stocks outperformed growth companies on Friday morning, as they did on Thursday. The Dow Jones is full of value stocks, while the Nasdaq has more tech and other growth stocks. Value-driven companies see their profits grow more when economic demand strengthens.

“US equity futures are slightly higher on continued infrastructure optimism and tracking momentum after yesterday’s record closing highs,” wrote Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research.

Elsewhere, economic data fell short of expectations. The index of basic personal consumption expenditure rose 0.5% month over month in May, as economists expected a 0.6% increase. Consumer spending was unchanged from April, below the expected 0.4% increase.
