Market attention has shifted to key economic events this week, including Federal Reserve Chair Powell's speech on Wednesday and Friday's non-farm payrolls data.

The yield spread between French and German government bonds widened to a 12-year high, reflecting heightened market concerns over political risks in the eurozone.
