Market rallies will be sporadic until inflation comes down
CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Tuesday said that any rallies in the market will be short-lived as long as inflation remains persistent.
“Sometimes you don’t need to know the price of the Dow, you just need to know the price of Kerrygold butter or a Lennar three-bedroom,” the “Mad Money” host said.

“If they come down — not just versus last year, but versus two years ago or three years ago — then your stocks can maintain, if not go higher,” he added.
Stocks fell on Tuesday as investors eyed the conclusion of the Federal Reserve’s Wednesday meeting when the central bank is expected to announce a 75 basis point rate hike. Traders are also watching for any projections from the Fed about how much more it will raise interest rates.
Powell is expected to reiterate the central bank’s aggressive stance against inflation.
Cramer reminded investors that more pain is ahead, and the market’s loss is Powell’s gain. Stocks represent purchasing power since investors can sell them for cash, and the Fed chief needs people to have less in order to stamp out inflation, he explained.
He added that in addition to bringing down the price of stocks and goods, Powell also needs to drive people back to the workforce in order to tamp down wage inflation, he added.
“That’s the final frontier, and the Fed will keep hitting the brakes on the economy until the labor market cools down,” he said.
