Investors cool on CRH as Donald Trump's $2tn rebuilding plan fails to excite

Shares in Irish cement and building materials giant CRH sank by almost 3% - having been down by over 4% earlier - as investors failed to get excited about US President Donald Trump suggesting a $2trn spending package to repair America’s roads and other vital infrastructure.

Mr Trump’s plan would cover bridges, roads and other projects. However; support for the plan, its funding and the length of time it takes to become a reality are all concerns.
