Three indicators — bonds, oil and Nvidia — can give investors a faster read on Wall Street than headline index moves, Jim Cramer said Tuesday.
A 30-year Treasury yield around 5.2% is the first signal he watches because rising yields can pull money toward bonds and increase pressure on the Federal Reserve to stay tight.
Oil is his second gauge, with crude prices reflecting both inflation pressure and geopolitical risk tied to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, though he said prices remain below recent highs.
Nvidia is the third question because Cramer sees the chipmaker as a barometer for the AI trade and, increasingly, a large share of the broader economy as data-center spending spreads.
