CNBC’s Jim Cramer<\/a> said that he’s not worried about the market taking a breather because the artificial intelligence boom remains powerful enough to keep driving stocks higher.<\/p>\n All three major indexes closed lower Thursday after the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 hit intraday highs earlier in the session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a> shed 313 points, or 0.63%, while the Nasdaq Composite<\/a> fell 0.13% and the S&P 500<\/a> declined 0.38%. Still, Cramer said the pullback was healthy<\/a>.<\/p>\n “We need a little rest. We want stocks to cool off,” the “Mad Money” host said, noting that many AI-related names have made “parabolic” moves<\/a> in recent weeks. <\/p>\n Despite growing concerns around slowing consumer spending, weaker hiring, and geopolitical tensions, Cramer argued the market’s weakness looks more like a pause than the start of a prolonged downturn because the AI theme remains too strong to ignore. <\/p>\n “My faith in this market comes down to the opportunity to get you involved in what one of our guests tonight, Nvidia’s<\/a> Jensen Huang, correctly calls the fourth industrial revolution: artificial intelligence,” Cramer said, referencing his interview later in the show with Huang<\/a> alongside Corning<\/a> CEO Wendell Weeks<\/a>. <\/p>\n Cramer said investors continue underestimating the scale of the AI-driven transformation underway across the economy<\/a>. Its benefits have spread to a stack of interconnected industries from power generation, HVAC and semiconductors to cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity. <\/p>\n “Every one of these layers I just mentioned is like a giant American jobs program,” he said. “They all collectively have the power to keep the country’s economy humming.” <\/p>\n While Cramer acknowledged the market could see additional short-term weakness after a powerful rally, he argued the broader AI buildout remains intact and powerful enough to continue supporting stocks despite concerns about the Iran war lingering, interest rates and weakening consumer spending<\/a>. <\/p>\n “Because you have to ask yourself, what do any of those have to do with the price to earnings multiples of Nvidia or Corning<\/a>?” he said. <\/p>\n
