U.S. payrolls rose by just 175,000 last month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday, less than economists' Dow Jones estimate of 240,000. The unemployment rate rose to 3.9%, while one estimate called for the unemployment rate to remain stable at 3.8%. Wage growth was also less than expected, the report showed.

Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin and New York Fed President John Williams will both speak.
