Stock markets across Asia, the Gulf and Canada rose on Monday, as traders scaled back expectations for an imminent Federal Reserve interest rate increase.

Asian markets opened higher following weaker than expected United States labor data[^3].

Major Gulf stock markets also opened up, with easing concerns over energy disruptions adding support[^1].

Futures linked to Canada's TSX main index ticked up 4 points, or 0.2%, in early trading[^2].
