Jim Cramer's top 10 things to watch in the stock market Wednesday
Jim Cramer highlights a heavy market calendar for April 29: the Fed is widely expected to hold rates steady ahead of Chair Powell’s final press conference, and major earnings from Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft arrive after the bell. Cramer flags Alphabet as the standout, while Amazon’s run-up (30% from March lows) raises expectations. Microsoft and Meta face scrutiny over AI costs and ad/cost trends; Seagate, Starbucks and Visa reported strong results that are lifting shares, while Robinhood plunged after an earnings miss. Biogen posted beats and strong Leqembi sales. Overall Cramer suggests these events could drive headline volatility — especially tech earnings — with implications for cloud, AI-related hardware demand, ad spending and buybacks influencing market direction.
