📰 U.S. markets are in a cautious mood ahead of key economic data: traders are bracing for the delayed January jobs report (expected to show modest job growth with unemployment around 4.4%), which has become a focal point for sentiment this week. Weak retail spending data has raised questions about consumer strength and boosted expectations for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts later in 2026. Stocks have been mixed with tech facing pressure while some cyclical sectors show resilience.
