<\/div>\n

US equities traded lower on Monday as investors turned cautious ahead of a series of closely watched economic releases and another round of corporate earnings, following a volatile week that ended with the Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching a historic milestone.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 128 points, or about 0.2%, in early trading. <\/p>\n

The S&P 500 was also down 0.2%, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.4%, reflecting renewed pressure on technology and growth-oriented stocks.<\/p>\n

Mixed moves after sharp rebound<\/h2>\n

Monday\u2019s declines followed a strong rebound in the prior session, when stocks surged after heavy losses earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Dow jumped about 1,200 points, or roughly 2.5%, to notch its first-ever close above the 50,000 level, after briefly touching the milestone during intraday trading. <\/p>\n

The S&P 500 gained about 2%, while the Nasdaq Composite finished more than 2% higher.<\/p>\n

The recovery on Friday came after a sharp sell-off driven largely by weakness in technology shares, particularly software stocks. <\/p>\n

During that period, risk appetite had deteriorated, with Bitcoin also plunging before recovering some of its losses as markets stabilised.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin rebounded above $70,000 on Friday after dipping below $61,000 the previous night, while several software stocks posted gains. <\/p>\n

Focus turns to labour market and inflation data<\/h2>\n

The economic calendar was relatively light on Monday, but investors remained focused on a packed schedule later in the week. <\/p>\n

Several Federal Reserve officials, including Governors Christopher Waller and Stephen Miran, are scheduled to speak, potentially offering insight into policymakers\u2019 views on inflation and the labour market.<\/p>\n

Attention is set to intensify on Wednesday with the release of the delayed January nonfarm payrolls report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. <\/p>\n

The report was originally scheduled for last Friday but was postponed due to the partial government shutdown.<\/p>\n

The release follows last week\u2019s report from ADP, which showed that private-sector payrolls rose by just 22,000 in January, well below expectations. <\/p>\n

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones are forecasting that the government\u2019s jobs report will show a gain of about 55,000 positions.<\/p>\n

The employment data will carry additional weight this time, as the January release includes the annual benchmark revision to payroll figures. <\/p>\n

The update is expected to show a downward revision to job growth for the year through March 2025, potentially reshaping perceptions of labour market strength.<\/p>\n

Investors are also looking ahead to the January consumer price index, due Friday. The inflation report, which was also delayed by the shutdown, is expected to show a 2.5% annual rate, according to consensus estimates.<\/p>\n

On the corporate front, another batch of earnings reports could influence sector rotation that has recently seen investors move away from high-growth technology stocks. <\/p>\n

Coca-Cola and Ford Motor are both scheduled to report results on Tuesday, potentially offering insight into consumer demand and industrial conditions.<\/p>\n
