  • Jim Cramer Warns of Overconfidence in Market After U.S.-Iran Ceasefire
    April 11, 2026, 7:01 AM EDT. CNBC's Jim Cramer cautioned investors that the stock market is "incredibly overconfident" following a sharp rally after the U.S.-Iran ceasefire announcement. The S&P 500 surged 3.6% last week, fueled by President Trump's two-week pause on Iranian strikes. Despite the relief rally, Cramer warned the ceasefire is fragile and the Middle East situation remains precarious, with risks such as the Strait of Hormuz still unresolved. He advised caution, noting no systemic risk but stressing the market's reaction may be premature. Looking ahead, Cramer will focus on upcoming earnings from major banks like Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo, highlighting Goldman's potential gain from market volatility. He also mentioned Johnson & Johnson's earnings as a stock to watch, given its history of volatility and strong pipeline.
