MONDAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

U.S. stock index futures traded lower on Monday, with Dow industrial component Boeing falling sharply following the weekend crash of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8 jet.

worries about signs of slowing in the U.S. economy continued to weigh on the market. Data on Friday showed the world’s largest economy added just 20,000 jobs in February versus an expected gain of 180,000 — marking the weakest month of jobs creation since September 2017.

The report came amid growing concern about the global economy. Data out of China last week showed its exports slumped 20.7 percent from a year earlier, far below analysts’ expectations and wiping out a surprise jump in January
