NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Continued dollar weakness and the impact of this weekend's Northeast snowstorm on the economy -- particularly on the retail sector in the midst of the holiday session -- will be among the things on Wall Street's mind as the trading week begins. At 5:20 a.m. ET, futures pointed to a weak start for the major indexes.
The dollar touched a record low against the euro for the seventh consecutive trading session as investors reacted to the weaker-than-expected employment figures released last Friday. The euro stood at $1.2179, up from $1.2166 late Friday. Against the yen, the dollar tested a three-year low at ¥107.63.
