Jim Cramer's top 10 things to watch in the stock market Monday
Jim Cramer’s Monday watchlist points to a risk-off start for equities, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures lower as semiconductor weakness and rising geopolitical tensions hit sentiment. WTI crude surged more than 3% toward $74-$75 after U.S.-Iran strikes, adding to market anxiety. Chip stocks are under pressure globally, with Asian names like SK Hynix and Samsung sharply lower and U.S. peers Micron and Sandisk also down. Offsetting some of the weakness, TSMC reported 68% year-over-year June revenue growth, reinforcing continued AI-driven chip demand and supporting the long-term case for Intel. On the stock-specific side, Apple received a bullish price-target hike from Citi to $365, Meta’s Louisiana data-center project expanded to 5GW and over $50 billion, and several other names including Capital One, Humana, Rockwell Automation, and Deckers Outdoor saw upgraded analyst views, highlighting a mix of defensive rotation and AI/data-center spending themes.
