Global financial markets are showing mixed movements this Tuesday, with stocks in Europe and Asia falling as investors await key employment and inflation data from the U.S., which could influence future interest rate decisions. S&P 500 and Dow Jones futures are down, and markets like the DAX and FTSE 100 are also retreating in light of signs of economic slowdown in Japan and China. Nervousness is increasing over the possibility of new rate hikes in some regions, while assets like gold gain appeal amid volatility.
