Swiss Market Ends Moderately Lower

(RTTNews) - The Switzerland market closed moderately lower on Wednesday after languishing in negative territory right through the day's session, amid concerns about the impact of Trump's reciprocal tariffs.

Roche Holding ended down 0.88%. Sika, Novartis and Givaudan also closed weak.

Adecco climbed 1.64% and Lindt & Spruengli closed higher by 1.28%. Swisscom, Swiss Life Holding, Swatch Group and Zurich Insurance ended higher by 0.5 to 0.8%.

A report from UBS & CFA Society said the Swiss investors' sentiment index fell by 14.1 points from the previous month to -10.7 in March 2025, slipping into negative territory for the first time in three months. According to UBS, which collaborates with the CFA Society Switzerland to release the indicator, the decline reflected a cautious outlook for the Swiss economy over the next six months.
