To read U.S. stock market trend, watch bonds, oil and Nvidia first

Investors looking for a quick read on U.S. stocks should first watch bonds, oil prices and Nvidia, CNBC cited Jim Cramer as saying. Cramer said investors do not need to track every market move and can gauge Wall Street with three questions. He said rising Treasury yields boost bonds’ appeal and add pressure for tighter Federal Reserve policy, citing the 30-year yield near 5.2 percent. He also said higher oil prices can signal inflation and geopolitical risks.
