U.S. stock futures and international equities markets were mostly higher early in Europe after another strong close on Wall Street in the prior session. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release revised job figures that are expected to show U.S. companies hired fewer workers than initially reported. That comes on the heels of recent data that indicate a slowing labor market, and which have cemented expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut rates next week. August producer and consumer inflation data land on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. In corporate action, Oracle reports earnings later.

The dollar continued to ease, while gold hit a fresh record high.
