US stocks fell on Tuesday, ending a four-day win streak after new data hints at a slowing economy.

Job openings in the US unexpectedly fell 632,000 to 9.93 million, representing the lowest level since May 2021. There are now 1.7 job openings for every unemployed American looking from a job, down from a peak of 2.0 just a few months ago.

Additionally, ISM Manufacturing data showed a decline to 46.3 in March, representing the lowest level since May 2020 and signaling that the manufacturing sector is in contraction mode.

Investors also weren't thrilled about what JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon had to say in his annual shareholder letter, in which he warned that the banking crisis is not yet over.
