The Fed minutes on Wednesday will shape views on the odds of a half percentage-point rate increase in May and provide key details on how the central bank will shrink its balance sheet.

"It would not be surprising to see yields rise further from here and it is very hard to know where they will land," Angela Ashton, founder and director of investment consulting firm Evergreen Consultants wrote in a note.

New York Fed President John Williams said on Saturday that a "sequence of steps" could get rates back to more normal levels. Mary Daly, president of the San Francisco Fed, said in an interview published on Sunday that rising inflation and a tight labor market strengthened the case for a half-point May hike.

A strong jobs report on Friday strengthened the case for the Fed to raise borrowing costs. The US added 431,000 jobs in March, while the unemployment rate dropped to 3.6% near its pre-pandemic low.

China's markets are closed for holidays. Moreover, around 25 million people in Shanghai remain locked down. State media also reported a new subtype of the omicron variant.

The Russian stock market recovered for the second week in a row amid unprecedented sanctions, gas sales to some "unfriendly" countries with payment in rubles and the peace talks.
