LONDON, Oct 2 — Brexit concerns kept London-listed shares in negative territory today as global stock markets steadied from the initial shock of US President Donald Trump testing positive for the novel coronavirus. The blue-chip FTSE 100 index fell 0.5 per cent and was on track to end the week roughly flat after two weeks of losses.
The mid-cap FTSE 250 lost 0.6 per cent, with increasing cases and fresh lockdown fears in the UK also dampening sentiment.
