Jim Cramer’s top 10 things to watch in the stock market Friday

My top 10 things to watch Friday, April 5

  1. Wall Street’s early gains Friday moderated after a hot jobs growth number and in-line wage inflation. Bond yields rise as an already iffy Federal Reserve interest rate cut in June, appropriately, looks less likely.
  2. The U.S. economy created 303,000 nonfarm jobs in March. Much higher than the 200,000 forecasts. Average hourly earnings were up 4.1% year over year. Good combination, signaling a strong economy and OK inflation. The jobless rate dipped to 3.8%, as expected. 62.7% participation rate.
  3. Where is the oil supply?  Where did the surplus go? U.S. crude prices push $87 per barrel and Brent, the international standard, top $90 on increasing concerns about wars in Ukraine and the Mideast curtailing supply.
  4. Barclays joins everyone else in raising the refiners and MLPs. No value added at this point.
  5. Mizuho’s Amazon Web Services customer survey signals a tipping point for cloud migration. Good news for Club name Amazon.
  6. Alphabet may be buying HubSpot. Does the Google parent have any idea what the heck it is doing? Canaccord raises price target on HubSpot, a competitor of Club name Salesforce.
  7. Pivotal price target raises on both Netflix and Spotify as subscription revenue streams are loved.
  8. Roku price target cut at Morgan Stanley.  Sell. There is little underpinning for this one.
  9. RBC raises Eaton stock rating to buy from hold.
  10. Johnson & Johnson buys Shockwave for $335 per share in cash, or $12.5 billion. Shockwave is a medtech firm that makes cardiovascular intervention devices.
