World shares showed a mixed performance on Monday following a week where the benchmark S&P 500 experienced a 2% decline. The passing of a budget deal by U.S. lawmakers over the weekend helped alleviate concerns of a pre-Christmas government shutdown.
In European markets, Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 both saw slight declines, while Britain's FTSE also dipped. Futures for the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average showed modest gains.
