Jim Cramer wondered onaMad MoneyaTuesday. The world in indeed slowing, Cramer admitted, but that doesn't mean that all stocks must follow suit. For proof that the world is slowing, investors just need to look at economically sensitive commodities like iron, copper, steel and oil. It's certainly true that oil prices are falling because the U.S. is poised to eclipse Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer, but oil prices have also been falling from weakening demand.

Not only are sales weak in Europe and South America, but margins here in the U.S. are also slipping, signaling a peak may indeed be at hand. Housing doesn't look any better, Cramer admitted. Home prices appear to be peaking as well. With the U.S. dollar at its highest level in four years, Cramer said the aerospace cycle may also be peaking. Then there are bond prices. Surely they're close to peaking now that the Federal Reserve has stopped its bond buying.

The industrials and the cyclical stocks must come down, but for those companies that benefit from lower commodity prices -- think restaurants, retail and apparel -- those stocks can still head higher.
