CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Friday looked ahead to next week’s key market events, which include public statements by several Federal Reserve officials and earnings reports from Nike and FedEx.
Host Mad Money’s outlook came after another bad day for Wall Street, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 533 points on Friday, ending its worst week since October.
“The Fed is in warning mode, and warning mode … can be brutal,” said Cramer, adding that history also shows that late June is a difficult time for stocks in general. “The bad news is that the sell-off is unlikely to be over,” he said.

Tuesday: Powell speaks
The Fed remains in focus on Tuesday, with Chairman Jerome Powell to make public comments, Cramer said. He expects Powell to simply accept Bullard’s view, he said, without forcibly pushing back.
“If Powell doesn’t mitigate Bullard’s comments and the market falls, I think it is time to selectively buy higher growth stocks,” said Cramer, referring to Adobe, Amazon and Advanced Micro Devices as the three companies making a buy should consider.
