CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Friday that any signs of consumer negativity next week will be a welcome sign for the Federal Reserve in its fight against inflation.
“I know it’s a total drag to hope for negativity, but that’s what we need right now” to bring inflation down, he said. “I bet we’ll find that confidence is falling rapidly.”
The “Mad Money” host said he’s keeping watch on the consumer price index and University of Michigan consumer sentiment index coming out next week to confirm his prediction that consumer confidence is dropping.
“That’s exactly what the Fed doctor ordered,” he said.
He also previewed next week’s slate of earnings. All earnings and revenue estimates are courtesy of FactSet.
