Markets were mixed on Friday.
The S&P 500 fell 0.2 percent but the STOXX Europe 600 rose 0.1 percent.
Earlier in Asia, the Nikkei 225 fell 0.8 percent but the Shanghai Composite rose 0.4 percent.
A report on Friday showed that the US economy added 201,000 jobs in August, better than the downwardly-revised 147,000 in July.
However, that report was offset by news that US President Donald Trump was ready to escalate the US-China trade war by extending tariffs to virtually all Chinese imports into the United States.
