Global stock markets were subdued Thursday as investors focused on the U.S. tax reform and looked ahead to an upcoming U.S. jobs report. Futures augured a soft opening on Wall Street — Dow futures were down 0.1 percent while S&P futures were flat. U.S. JOBS: A report from payroll processor ADP showed private employers added 190,000 jobs last month, slightly better than expected. The report comes two days before a government jobs report, among the last key economic indicators before the Federal Reserve's meeting next week. CURRENCIES: The dollar rose to 112.74 Japanese yen from 112.27 yen while the euro weakened to $1.1786 from $1.1796.
