[LONDON] Europe's main stock markets diverged in opening deals on Monday, with investors anxious over the US government shutdown.
In initial trade, London's benchmark FTSE 100 index fell almost 0.2 percent to stand at 7,719.15 points.
In the eurozone, the Paris CAC 40 index lost 0.1 per cent to 5,520.21 points compared with Friday's close.
