El Paso Corporation (NYSE: EP) reported this morning that Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) has agreed to invest $700 million in EP's Ruby Pipeline project, which will transport natural gas from the Rocky Mountain region to the Western United States. Under the terms of the deal, GIP will receive a 50% equity interest in three major traunches of the project.
News of the lucrative investment has propelled EP to a gain of 1.7%, despite a downside bias in the broader equities market. The shares are positioned above support at their 10-week and 20-week moving averages, but potential resistance lies overhead in the $11 region. This area previously capped the stock's rally attempt in mid-June.
Infrastructure assets can be stable, long-term investments, and as a result, private equity firms are certainly interested.
