13.05.2024 19:05:05 - dpa-AFX: Swiss Market Ends Marginally Up After Lackluster Session
BRUSSELS (dpa-AFX) - Swiss stocks ended slightly up on Monday after a
lackluster session as investors refrained from making significant moves amid a
lack of triggers.
Investors digested data showing a slight drop in Swiss consumer confidence in
the month of April.
The benchmark SMI, which moved between 11,729.47 and 11,772.82, ended with a
small gain of 14.38 points or 0.12% at 11,768.08.
Logitech International, ABB, Givaudan, Roche Holdings, Lindt Spruengli, Alcon
and Swisscom gained 1 to 1.5%.
Straumann Holding advanced nearly 1%. Novartis climbed 0.82% and UBS Group ended
higher by 0.63%.
Holcim ended more than 4% down. Lonza Group, VAT Group and Swatch Group ended
lower by 1.8 to 1.9%. Partners Group dropped 1.59%, while Swiss Re, SGS, Sonova,
Julius Baer, Sandoz Group and SIG Group lost 0.7 to 1.2%.
Survey results from the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, or SECO, showed
Swiss consumer confidence was almost unchanged in April.
The consumer confidence index stood at -38.1 in April versus March's 8-month
high of -38.0. Further, the consumer sentiment index remained below the
long-term average.
Among the main four sub-components, consumers' expectations of how the general
economic situation would develop over the next twelve months improved in April,
with the corresponding index rising to -21.2 from -24.3.
Similarly, the index measuring intentions for major purchases rose to -37.2 from
-40.0.
Meanwhile, households were more pessimistic about their own financial situation,
which weakened to -36.2 from -33.0. The past financial situation of the general
economy also worsened from -53.4 to -57.6.
