ANALYST'S TAKE: 'This is a big week of event risk,' said Chris Weston of IG in a report, emerging markets trade and US inflation. Weston said investors also are looking forward to US earnings later this week, but the picture is 'a little more challenging' as companies bring forward charges for repatriating cash under Washington's tax changes. 'This reporting season could be a catalyst, but it does promise to be somewhat messier than prior quarters, not to mention sentiment towards US equities is already sky high.' US JOBS: The Labor Department said employers added 148,000 jobs in December. That was a bit less than experts expected, but still underscored the continued health of the economy. Wages grew and factory managers received more new orders than in any month since 2004. 'This is still fairly impressive in the context of a low unemployment rate,' said Mizuho Bank in a report.
