Asian markets showed weakness alongside US futures before the release of employment statistics, which will influence Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions. Markets in Australia and Japan recorded declines, whilst South Korean shares remained relatively stable.
The dollar strengthened, continuing its longest weekly growth streak in over a year. Gold remained steady, heading towards its best weekly performance since mid-November.
