US equity futures were higher pre-bell Monday, rebounding from losses in the previous session fueled by Friday's soft jobs report.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were 0.4% higher, S&P 500 futures were up 0.6%, and Nasdaq futures were 0.8% higher.
Major equity benchmarks closed lower Friday after data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed total nonfarm payrolls rose by 73,000 in July, well below estimates compiled by Bloomberg for a 104,000 increase.
Oil prices were lower, with front-month global benchmark North Sea Brent crude down 1.7% at $68.53 per barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude 1.9% lower at $66.07 per barrel.
The US factory orders bulletin, scheduled for release at 10 am ET, is expected to show a 4.9% decrease in orders for June following an 8.2% increase in the previous month.
