Every weekday the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a “Morning Meeting” livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here’s a recap of Tuesday’s key moments. Stocks fall Trades in an overbought market Gen-Z still spending 1. Stocks fall U.S. equities were mainly lower Tuesday in late morning trading, despite data from the U.S. Labor Department showing job openings in February fell below 10 million for the first time in two years. The agency’s lagging data comes ahead of its closely-watched jobs report for March, set to be released on Friday.

Gen-Z still spending Piper Sandler Tuesday released its semi-annual “Taking Stock with Teens” survey, which focuses on shopping trends among U.S. teens and the Gen-Z demographic.
