The U.S. dollar climbed against its key counterparts in the European session on Monday, as U.S. treasury yields rose after Friday's jobs data showed that wage growth accelerated more than expected in August.

The U.S. economy added 235,000 jobs in August, compared to expectations of 750,000 jobs.

The unemployment rate fell to 5.2 percent in August from 5.4 percent in July.

Wage growth accelerated to 0.6 percent in August from 0.4 percent in July. The rate was above the expected 0.3 percent.

The data triggered doubts about a delay in the Fed's plan to reduce bond purchases at its meeting later this month.

The U.S. markets will remain closed on account of the Labor Day holiday.
