- Jim Cramer highlights potential market optimism driven by hopes of Iran conflict resolution and a strong ADP jobs report, suggesting a positive jobs market ahead of nonfarm payrolls. However, he expresses disappointment with Nike's weak guidance and inventory issues, despite a revenue/earnings beat, and notes RH's disappointing quarterly results and light guidance, though with better cash flow outlook. These mixed signals suggest cautious optimism with sector-specific headwinds.

We’re looking at another strong open this morning on Wall Street after yesterday’s scorching rally on hopes of a resolution to the Iran war. Yesterday’s moves in stocks and bonds were a preview of what we may see if the conflict really does end. The March ADP report came in stronger than expected this morning. Positive signal for the jobs market ahead of Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report.

Very disappointed in Club name Nike. The quarter beat on headline revenue and earnings, but it’s still issuing weak guidance. Still problems with inventory. Growth in North America also took a step back. Is it still a good idea to stick with a fall investor day? Worse before it gets better. Has the competition caught up? Goldman, JPMorgan and Bank of America all downgraded it.

Rocky turnaround at RH. The luxury home-furnishings maker fell short on each key metric in its fiscal fourth quarter and its current quarter guide was light too. Tariffs were a drag. Housing market remains difficult. Shares are down 18% this morning. At least its full-year cash flow guide was much better.
