ABB and Novartis gained about 1.9% and 1.8%, respectively. Roche Holding advanced 1.2%, while Richemont, UBS Group, Partners Group, Nestle and Alcon gained 0.7 to 1%.

Holcim ended lower by more than 2%. Logitech shed about 1%, while Sika, Swiss Re and Geberit declined 0.6 to 0.8%.

In the Swiss Mid Price Index, Kuehne & Nagel and Bachem Holding both ended higher by more than 2%. Schindler Holding and Schindler Ps gained 1.66% and 1.6%, respectively.
