HONG KONG (AP) — Global markets were mixed on Monday as investors waited to see the outcome of trade talks between Washington and Beijing in London.
The futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were 0.1% higher.
The CAC 40 in Paris lost 0.1% to 7,797.64 and Germany's DAX edged 0.4% lower to 24,210.06.
The British FTSE 100 was little changed at 8,836.20.
In Asian trading, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 gained 0.9% to 38,088.57 as the government reported that the Japanese economy contracted by 0.2% in the January-March quarter.
In South Korea, the Kospi added 1.6% to 2,855.77.
Chinese markets rose even though the government reported that exports slowed in May, growing 4.8% from a year earlier after jumping more than 8% in April. Exports to the United States fell 35% in May and nearly 10% in January-May in annual terms.
China also reported that consumer prices fell 0.1% in May from a year earlier, marking the fourth consecutive month of deflation.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng picked up 1.6% to 24,181.43 while the Shanghai Composite Index climbed 0.4% to 3,399.77.
Australia's markets were closed for a holiday.
On Friday, stocks gained ground on Wall Street following a better-than-expected report on the U.S. job market.
The gains were broad, with every sector in the S&P 500 rising. That solidified a second consecutive winning week for the benchmark index, which has rallied back from a slump two months ago to come within striking distance of its record high.
The S&P 500 rose 1% and the Dow industrials lost 1%. The Nasdaq gained 1.2%.
Technology stocks, with their outsized values, led the broad gains. Chipmaker Nvidia jumped 1.2% and iPhone maker Apple rose 1.6%.
Tesla rose 3.7%, regaining some of the big losses it suffered on Thursday when Trump and Musk sparred feverishly on social media.
Circle Internet Group, the U.S.-based issuer of one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, rose 29.4%. That adds to its 168% gain from Thursday when it debuted on the New York Stock Exchange.
U.S. employers slowed their hiring last month, but still added a solid 139,000 jobs amid uncertainty over President Donald Trump's trade war. The closely watched monthly update reaffirmed that the job market remains resilient, despite worries from businesses and consumers about the impact of tariffs on goods going to and coming from the U.S. and its most important trading partners.
Hopes that Trump will lower his tariffs after reaching trade deals with other countries are a main reason the S&P 500 has rallied back so furiously since dropping roughly 20% two months ago from an all-time high.
The economy is absorbing the impact from tariffs on a wide range of goods from key trading partners, along with raw materials such as steel. Heavier tariffs could hit businesses and consumers in the coming months.
The U.S. economy contracted during the first quarter. Recent surveys by the Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, found that both American manufacturing and services businesses contracted last month. On Tuesday, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development forecast 1.6% growth for the U.S. economy this year, down from 2.8% last year.
The uncertainty over tariffs and their economic impact has put the Federal Reserve in a delicate position.
In other trading early Monday, U.S. benchmark crude oil lost 21 cents to $64.37 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, gave up 23 cents to $66.24 per barrel.
The U.S. dollar retreated to 144.09 Japanese yen from 144.85 yen. The euro edged higher, to $1.1426 from $1.1399.

Truck units of Toyota and Daimler reach merger deal, first announced two years ago

TOKYO (AP) — The truck divisions of Japan's Toyota and Daimler of Germany have agreed to merge to form 'a new strong Japanese truck powerhouse' to work together in vehicle development, procurement and production. Details, including the scope and specifics of the collaboration, were still undecided. But Hino Motors and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corp. plan to form a listed holding company by April 2026, the companies said Tuesday. A tentative such deal was announced two years ago. Under the integration, which will be 'on an equal footing,' Daimler Truck and Toyota Motor Corp. will each own 25% of the holding company. The Tokyo-based holding company will own 100% of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino, and list on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The chief executive will be Karl Deppen, now CEO of Mitsubishi Fuso, a division of Daimler Truck AG. 'Today is a great day for all our stakeholders. We are shaping the industry by bundling our strengths,' Deppen said. 'With a strong new company, we combine our two trusted brands, our resources, competencies and expertise to even better support our customers in their transportation needs in the future.' The new company, which still needs approval from boards, shareholders and regulatory authorities, will employ more than 40,000 workers. The companies share the common desire to work on future commercial vehicles, strengthening the auto industry in Japan and Asia, and work on ecological innovation, including the use of hydrogen energy, the companies said. Toyota Chief Executive Koji Sato expressed hopes the companies working together will contribute toward building a better future. 'Today's final agreement is not the goal but the starting line. Our four companies, aiming to achieve a sustainable mobility society, will continue to create the future of commercial vehicles together,' he said. Collaboration and the pooling of resources, including money, are becoming widespread in the auto industry, as pressures grow to develop various technology in ecology, autonomous driving, connectivity and safety. And scale can help reduce costs and boost competitiveness. ___ Yuri Kageyama is on Threads:
