<div id="readability-page-1"><p>We're seeing a more cautious mood ahead of European trading, with Asian stocks and US futures holding lower today. The Nikkei is down 1.3% after a more sluggish showing by tech shares in Wall Street yesterday. Nvidia might've ended up 0.7% higher but AI stocks in general continue to wobble in the early stages this week.</p><p>So far today, S&amp;P 500 futures are down 0.5% after the 0.2% decline yesterday. It's a bit of a setback after holding somewhat steadier last week, keeping on the verge of fresh record highs. However, a push to test that seems to be a step too far for now amid the caution up in the air on the AI bubble.</p><p>For the day ahead, the big focus turns to US data. Not only will we be getting the non-farm payrolls report but retail sales data will also be on the cards later. So, that will keep market players interested in search of trading the headlines based on the latest update and snapshot that we will get on the US economy - one that is feeling long overdue, even if it might be a messy one.</p></div>
