After getting the weather in ZZZ [we] decided to fly a CAT III to Runway XX thinking we might not see the runway on a CAT I. Weather was X00 overcast.  We setup; briefed and flew the CAT III approach. The approach was uneventful. At about 100 feet the CA noted my sink rate was a bit high. I began to pull back on the yoke more at the same time adding some power which made the problem worse with such a light airplane. We made a bounced landing and I decided to make a go-around. As I added power we might have lightly touched again; but made a successful go-around and clean up. After clean up the CA decided to make the landing on XY.
Approaching ZZZ; weather was X00 OVC X miles Visibility and a slight tailwind. We did do a landing data assessment. Weather was good to accomplish a CAT III landing.  Airplane was very light due to approximately XX souls on board. FO flew [a] good approach. In the last 100 feet developed a higher sink rate. I told him to start pulling back on the yoke to break the descent. FO elected to add power at about 20 feet to break descent. This was a surprise to me. He added too much power for the circumstances. Due to the light weight the airplane accelerated forward; but still the main gear hit the runway firmly then immediately went airborne again. He pushed forward still trying to land the airplane but quickly realized a go-around was the correct thing to do so he initiated a go-around. During the go-around I believe the main gear kissed the runway again. I was in the process of taking the airplane; but he ended up doing a good go-around and I took the jet when we leveled off at 2;000 feet and I flew the rest of the flight and the landing to XY. The go-around was from XX.I should have emphasized to FO not [to] rely solely on the flare cue. My hesitation in saying that the visibility was not great and he may find the flare cue helpful. I had no idea that he would increase the power to break the descent rate and since the jet was so light it reacted much more aggressively than he expected.
Air carrier flight crew reported the aircraft had a bounced landing resulting in a go-around. The crew cited the handling and performance characteristics of the lightly loaded aircraft as a contributing factor.
