European markets are expected to start the new trading week in mixed territory Monday.
Last week, regional markets ended the week higher as investors assessed fresh inflation data out of the euro zone that showed the headline consumer price index fell to 2.6% in February, from January's 2.8%.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast a headline reading of 2.5%.
In Asia-Pacific markets Monday, Japan's Nikkei 225 crossed the 40,000 mark, gaining 0.46% and setting a record high after the S&P500 and the Nasdaq Composite hit fresh all-time highs on Friday.
U.S. stock futures were little changed Sunday night after the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite posted a record-high Friday, breaking its 2021 record, as stocks attempt to continue their weeks-long rally.
