We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Talked About These 10 Stocks Recently. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed recently.
On Tuesday, Jim Cramer, host of Mad Money, broke down the day’s market movements as he pointed to rising bond yields as the main force behind a series of notable shifts in stock performance.
“Every day around here, we have a referendum on stocks, and you can’t let it get you down because tomorrow’s vote can always be different from today’s… Why is it like this?… Well, the answer is a mischievous one.”

Cramer offered a broader perspective and explained that on most days, individual stocks respond either to the movements of other stocks or to the overall direction of the market. He said that the market, in turn, often takes its cues from the bond market, which he described as its “much larger sibling.”
On Tuesday, he noted that the bond market heavily influenced stock prices. He highlighted that every downward movement in bond prices, which translates to higher interest rates, was met with negative reactions from the stock market. According to Cramer, such a relationship meant that rising rates handed the advantage to the market bears and tipped the scales in their favor during daily trading.
“So here’s the bottom line: The good news is that rates can also go up and not just down by the time we get a budget deal. The bad news is that rates are threatening to break out to the upside. And if they can’t stay calm, if they jump to a new, higher level while Congress works on the budget bill, we’re liable to have more days like today, where you need a plethora of positive themes for any given stock to break free from the gravitational pull of these darn miserable Treasurys.”
