1. Global market overview

Traders around the world seem uncertain about whether to buy or sell.

U.S. stock futures are not making any major moves.

European markets are mixed in early trading. Most Asian markets ended the day with gains.

This follows a week where U.S. stocks dropped and then slowly climbed back up. The Dow Jones industrial average ended the week with a 0.1% dip. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq each edged up by 0.1% over the week.

2. Dollar rebounds from recent losses

The U.S. dollar bounced back on Monday, as investors pondered how the latest U.S. jobs report will affect the pace of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes this year.

The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, was up 0.3% at 99.99 by 10:55GMT. It fell to a more than two-month low of 99.19 last week.

U.S. employers added 227,000 workers in January, the biggest gain in a month since September. However, unemployment edged up to 4.8% as more people looked for work, and the pace of wage growth slowed. The weak wage growth was seen as weakening the case for near-term interest rate hikes.

3. Gold hit 12-week highs

Gold prices gained on Monday, rising toward the highest level in about 12 weeks as investors sought the perceived safety of the yellow metal amid growing concerns over political risks around the globe.

Investors continued to buy in to gold as they eyed political risk elements with President Donald Trump's administration on the back foot over its immigration and other policies.

Meanwhile, in the euro zone, traders are monitoring developments in countries where anti-establishment movements are gaining traction ahead of elections.

Then after the trading day wraps up, media conglomerate 21st Century Fox is scheduled to report.

Toyota reported quarterly earnings that showed the automaker was selling more vehicles but making less money, in part due to the strengthening Japanese currency.
