U.S. markets were closed on Monday for Labor Day, shifting focus to the upcoming labor market data to be released throughout the week. The August jobs report, due on Friday, is expected to be a key indicator of the economy's health, following July's disappointing report where only 114,000 jobs were added, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.3%. Economists expect the unemployment rate to decrease to 4.2%, with around 185,000 jobs added in August.
