Swiss Market Ends Higher After Volatile Session; SETI Closes at 10,420

The Swiss Stock Exchange (SETI) closed higher on Friday, ending at 10,420, up 0.6% from the prior session after a range-bound and choppy trade. Key indices rose: the SX22 gained 0.4% and the S&P 500 Switzerland index climbed 0.5%. Volatility spiked in the final hour as investors reacted to mixed inflation data and central bank policy expectations. The Swiss National Bank is expected to maintain its accommodative stance this quarter, according to a Reuters poll of economists, which limited immediate policy-driven moves but kept markets on edge.
