US open: Dow reverses Friday's losses at the open
Wall Street stocks were in the green early on Monday as major indices tried to right the ship after a brutal first week of September trading.
As of 1515 BST, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1.04% at 40,765.40, while the S&P 500 advanced 1.06% to 5,465.66 and the Nasdaq Composite came out the gate 1.35% firmer at 16,916.83.
The Dow opened 419.99 points higher on Monday, erasing losses recorded in the previous session as market participants digested July's all-important nonfarm jobs report, which revealed nonfarm payrolls grew by just 142,000, missing the 161,000 gain expected by economists.
As far as the new week was concerned, investors will look ahead to two key inflation reports that could further influence the Federal Reserve's thinking ahead of its open market committee meeting later in the month, with August consumer and producer price reports slated for release on Wednesday and Thursday morning, respectively.
On the macro front for Monday, US wholesale inventories rose 0.2% month-on-month to $903.5bn in July, according to the Census Bureau, slightly below preliminary estimates for a 0.3% increase and following June's flat reading. Non-durable stocks gained 0.5%, while durable goods grew 0.1%. Year-on-year, wholesale inventories grew by 0.4%, down from the advance estimate of 0.6%.
Still to come, July consumer credit change numbers will be published at 2000 BST.
In the corporate space, while second-quarter earnings season has now largely ended, software giant Oracle will report earnings after the close on Monday, while Petco, Dave & Busters, GameStop, Kroger and Adobe will all report earnings before the week is out.
