Novartis, Richemont, Nestle, SGS, Credit Suisse, Roche Holding and ABB lost 1 to 2.5%.

Zurich Insurance Group, Swiss Life Holding and Swiss Re posted modest gains.

Among the stocks in the Swiss Mid Price Index, Ems Chemie Holding, Tecan Group, Georg Fischer, Bachem Holding and Zur Rose lost 2.9 to 4.1%.

Flughafen Zurich, SIG Combibloc, AMS, Lindt & Spruengli, Schindler Holding, Schindler Ps, Temenos Group and Barry Callebaut declined 1 to 2.5%.

Cembra Money Bank climbed 2.3% and Julius Baer surged up 2.15%. Kuehne & Nagel and Dufry both gained about 1.3%. Helvetia and Baloise Holding closed modestly higher.
