With President Biden's proposal to invest $174 billion in electric vehicle (EV) development, the domestic EV industry could witness solid growth soon despite short-term hurdles such as a global semiconductor chip shortage. Supportive government policies and regulations worldwide should also contribute to the industry's growth.

4 Stocks Benefiting from Strong Consumer Spending
Massive fiscal stimulus spending and an improving job market on the back of a national COVID-19 vaccination program have been driving growth in consumer spending in the U.S. And since retail sales are by far the main driver of the U.S. economy-accounting for about one-third of consumer spending-the retail sector is expected to grow significantly going forward on rising consumer spending.
