Today's economic calendar features key Eurozone inflation data and the critical US nonfarm payrolls report.

The week has already seen significant developments with China signaling its openness to potential trade talks with the U.S., though emphasizing that any dialogue must be based on "sincerity" and the removal of unilateral tariffs.
