Stock market today: Asian markets mixed following hotter-than-expected US jobs report

Asian markets are mixed in muted trading after a jobs report released Friday was hotter then expected. The euro sank after far-right parties made major gains in parliamentary elections Sunday, leading French President Emmanuel Macron to announce Sunday he was dissolving the parliament and calling a snap election. U.S. futures and oil prices rose. The jobs report suggests markets may have to wait even longer for interest rate cuts. The S&P 500 ended 0.1% lower Friday. The Dow industrials fell 0.2% and the Nasdaq composite shed 0.2%. GameStop, the struggling video game retailer behind the meme stock craze, plunged 39% after reporting another loss and saying it will sell up to 75 million more shares.
