CNBC’s Jim Cramer has shared key insights with investors, urging them to pay attention to significant business conferences scheduled for next week. Additionally, he warns that the United Auto Workers (UAW) union may go on strike if a deal is not reached with automakers by Thursday’s deadline.
Cramer emphasizes the importance of conferences such as Salesforce’s Dreamforce and Morgan Stanley’s annual Laguna Conference, as they may provide valuable information about market trends and industry forecasts. He believes that these conferences are particularly crucial given the potential end of the Federal Reserve’s tightening cycle.
“At this point, with about five to six months left in the tightening cycle and the Fed moving towards its inflation target, we can expect only a few more rate hikes. This historical pattern suggests that it’s time to adopt a more bullish stance in the stock market,” Cramer explains.
However, he acknowledges the challenges of staying bullish during economic slowdowns, especially as many companies tend to issue downgraded guidance during conferences. Cramer advises investors to focus on companies that are performing well and have recently presented at these events, as their stocks can often be overshadowed by the negative sentiment surrounding a few underperforming companies.
The upcoming week is also filled with notable events. Cramer highlights the Barclays Annual Global Financial Services Conference, featuring a speech by JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, as a key event to watch on Monday. He also points out that Tuesday will witness the release of Apple’s highly anticipated new iPhone.
On Wednesday, Cramer will be closely monitoring the new consumer price index numbers, which provide insights into inflation rates. Thursday holds two significant events: the culmination of negotiations between the UAW union and the big three automakers, as well as the expected IPO of semiconductor company Arm. Furthermore, Adobe and Lennar are set to report their quarterly results after the market closes.
Looking ahead to Friday, Cramer suggests that investors may start becoming concerned about the Federal Reserve’s meeting scheduled the following week.
