Europe's shares are little changed
European shares were little changed, after yesterday's retreat that was the biggest monthly, as the U.S. government shutdown entered its third day. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index increased less than 0.1% to 310.86 as of 2:25 p.m. London time. The gauge yesterday had its biggest decline since August 30; however, it has advanced 11% yearly.
