The bond market dictates stock trading

Tech stocks climbed at a high level on Friday to close out the week, but CNBC’s Jim Cramer expects more downward effects in the tech cohort as investors continue to rotate from high-growth names.

“Like it or not, the stock is currently joining the bond market,” said the host of “Mad Money.”

With bond yields rising amid early signs of an economic recovery, investors are fleeing from riskier growth stocks to cyclical stocks, particularly banking and industrial stocks that have underperformed, Cramer said.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has fallen in recent weeks and remains 7% lower than its high of about a month ago. However, the rotation from tech to value stocks won’t last forever, Cramer said.

“Either tech stocks get too low … or bond yields get too high. Until that happens, the rotation will continue,” he said. “We’re not there yet, but I’m sure we’ll get there eventually, because that’s what always ends these vicious rotations.”

Cramer revealed what’s on his agenda for the next week. Business performance projections are based on FactSet estimates:

Tuesday: GameStop, Adobe

Wednesday: RH, GrowGeneration, General Mills

Thursday: Darden Restaurants
