Stocks upbeat, dollar wobbles as Fed hike bets recede

Global stocks rose while the US dollar edged lower on Monday as investors reduced bets on an aggressive Federal Reserve policy tightening cycle following cooler-than-expected US jobs data. This shift in expectations has increased the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold, which drifted higher in price. The euro has been under pressure, sliding to a 17-month low against the dollar, partly due to concerns over France.
