Jim Cramer of CNBC claimed on Monday that the majority of sellers have already left the market, which suggests that the turbulence in the stock market may be about to subside.
This frantic effort to avoid the bad news, he claimed, was evidence that it had already been largely anticipated.
Everyone is rushing to exit this market before anyone else, but many people, he continued, “who were going to sell, have already left, so we could get some pleasant surprises going forward.”
Monday saw a decline in the major indices ahead of a busy week of corporate earnings.
The host of “Mad Money” stated that he will be paying close attention to this week’s consumer price index, producer price index, and retail sales figures.
“Those numbers will be too hot, in my opinion. But I do anticipate some early indications of cooling “said he.
“Everyone is afraid of the data points mentioned above. Additionally, when everyone is terrified, the story usually ends with buyers arriving after the terrible event has passed “Added he.
He also went over this week’s earnings report. FactSet is used to estimate all earnings and revenue.
