TheStreet's Action Alerts PLUS Portfolio Manager Jim Cramer is keeping an eye on retail sales data for May, released at 8:30am Eastern on Tuesday.

Analysts expect retail sales to rise 0.3 percent during the month, compared to a 1.3 percent increase in April.

While Cramer will be watching these numbers, he's most interested in online sales, particularly Amazon's (AMZN) - Get Report sales, given the woes throughout the retail sector.

In Tuesday's report, the government will reveal data for sales at nonstore retailers, which includes online retailers.

At the time of publication, Jim Cramer's charitable trust Action Alerts PLUS held no positions in stocks mentioned.
