Stock market today: Global benchmarks mostly slip after Wall Street's losing week

Global shares are trading mostly lower after U.S. employment data closed out a losing week for Wall Street. Investors are also closely watching earnings reports due later this week, including from Disney in the U.S., Alibaba Group in China and Sony and SoftBank in Japan. Shares in France, Germany and Britain declined in early trading, while benchmarks declined in Sydney, Seoul and Shanghai. Tokyo finished with a moderate gain. Although a strong job market is generally a positive sign for the economy, the U.S. Federal Reserve could see particularly strong wage growth as greater pressure on inflation. Oil prices fell.
