April 7, 2021:-Investors shouldn’t worry about the Federal Reserve raising interest rates after releasing the latest U.S. jobs report, CNBC’s Jim Cramer said.
Businesses nearly hire 916,000 workers the previous month, according to data from the Labor Department released on Friday. Although, the report also showed average hourly earnings declined by 4 cents in March.
Wages will be a crucial component for the Fed to gauge inflation, the host of “Mad Money” said.
“Professional money managers crave growth without wage inflation, and that’s just what we got nirvana for stocks,” Cramer said.
“I like Powell’s hand above that of the inflationists right now because nothing is more important to stocks than that nonfarm Labor Department report that we got just Friday,” said Cramer.
Cramer points to a decline in oil prices as a reason for the Fed to keep rates at historically low levels. West Texas Intermediate futures dropped above 4% on Monday.
According to Cramer, these elements will let Powell stick to his plan of keeping rates less until the economy recovers from the coronavirus pandemic.
The comments came after stocks rallied to open the first whole week of the second quarter.
The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average each jumped over 1% to fresh record highs. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite outperformed the Dow and S&P 500, rising 1.7%.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
