Jim Cramer on ZIM Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM): 'I Don't Like That'
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.'

FACT FOCUS: No, taxpayers will not receive new stimulus checks this summer
Don't splurge just yet. Rumors spread online Friday that the U.S. government will soon be issuing stimulus checks to taxpayers in certain income brackets. But Congress has not passed legislation to authorize such payments, and, according to the IRS, no new stimulus checks will be distributed in the coming weeks. Here's a closer look at the facts. CLAIM: The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department have approved $1,390 stimulus checks that will be distributed to low- and middle-income taxpayers by the end of the summer. THE FACTS: This is false. Taxpayers will not receive new stimulus checks of any amount this summer, an IRS official said. Stimulus checks, also known as economic impact payments, are authorized by Congress through legislation and distributed by the Treasury Department. Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri last month introduced a bill that would send tax rebates to qualified taxpayers using revenue from tariffs instituted by President Donald Trump. Hawley's bill has not passed the Senate or the House. The IRS announced early this year that it would distribute about $2.4 billion to taxpayers who failed to claim on their 2021 tax returns a Recovery Rebate Credit — a refundable credit for individuals who did not receive one or more COVID-19 stimulus checks. The maximum amount was $1,400 per individual. Those who hadn't already filed their 2021 tax return would have needed to file it by April 15 to claim the credit. The IRS official said there is no new credit that taxpayers can claim. Past stimulus checks have been authorized through legislation passed by Congress. For example, payments during the coronavirus pandemic were made by possible by three bills: the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act; the COVID-related Tax Relief Act; and the American Rescue Plan Act. In 2008, stimulus checks were authorized in response to the Great Recession through the Economic Stimulus Act. The Treasury Department, which includes the Internal Revenue Service, distributed stimulus payments during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Great Recession. The Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service, formed in 2012, played a role as well during the former crisis. Hawley in July introduced the American Worker Rebate Act, which would share tariff revenue with qualified Americans through tax rebates. The proposed rebates would amount to at minimum $600 per individual, with additional payments for qualifying children. Rebates could increase if tariff revenue is higher than expected. Taxpayers with an adjusted annual gross income above a certain amount — $75,000 for those filing individually — would receive a reduced rebate. Hawley said Americans 'deserve a tax rebate.' 'Like President Trump proposed, my legislation would allow hard-working Americans to benefit from the wealth that Trump's tariffs are returning to this country,' Hawley said in a press release. Neither the Senate nor the House had passed the American Worker Rebate Act as of Friday. It was read twice by the Senate on July 28, the day it was introduced, and referred to the Committee on Finance. ___ Find AP Fact Checks here: Melissa Goldin, The Associated Press

Tariffs, Sales Slump Hit Deere, But Analysts See Greener Pastures Ahead
On Thursday, Deere & Company (NYSE:DE) shares tumbled after the agricultural equipment giant posted mixed third-quarter results and trimmed its full-year profit forecast, highlighting persistent headwinds from declining sales, tariffs, and cautious customer demand. The heavy machinery maker reported earnings per share of $4.75, beating the consensus of $4.67. It reported a 9% decline in quarterly sales to $12.02 billion, beating the consensus of $10.31 billion. Production and precision agriculture sales decreased 16% for the quarter to $4.27 billion due to lower shipment volumes and unfavorable price realization. Operating profit slumped 50% to $580 million primarily due to lower shipment volumes/sales narrowed its fiscal 2025 net income guidance to between $4.75 billion and $5.25 billion, compared to its previous forecast of $4.75 billion to $5.50 billion, citing that customers remain cautious amid ongoing uncertainty. Truist Securities said Deere noted some green shoots, including better-than-expected retail sales for tractors in Europe, earthmoving and forestry were positive after several quarters of flat to declining growth, and improving demand in North America turf and compact equipment. Deere projects North American sprayer sales to fall 20% in 2026 based on early orders but views this as not reflective of overall market demand, noting sprayers are only one year into a downturn versus two years for tractors and combines. Truist's Jamie Cook sees 2025 as the EPS trough, with potential upside from production aligned with retail demand, stronger pricing, tariff management, and cost efficiencies, even if overall retail demand remains flat. Truist updated fiscal 2025, 2026, and 2027 earnings per share estimates to $18.30, $21.85, and $27.90, respectively (from $18.55, $24.20, and $30.00, respectively), resulting in a price forecast update from $619 to $602, with an unchanged Buy rating. Analyst Jamie Cook sees greener pastures ahead for Deere & Company, calling it one of the best-managed names in the industrial machinery space, underpinned by a growing technology platform and a resilient earnings stream. Cook notes that Deere has steadily improved through-cycle margins, returns, and cash flow, positioning it to outpace sector peers. According to Cook, Deere's performance in the current farm equipment downturn demonstrates that its earnings and margins are structurally higher than in past cycles, and the company remains on track to meet its 2030 through-cycle margin target of 20%. She projects that 2025 will likely mark the bottom of the farm equipment cycle, with a potential upturn in 2026. Cook also believes the market often underestimates Deere's operating leverage during cyclical recoveries. Price Action: DE stock is trading higher by 1.64% to $486.67 at last check Friday.
