Swiss Market Ends Slightly Weak BRUSSELS (dpa-AFX) - The Switzerland stock market recovered after a mild early setback Thursday morning, and despite holding in positive territory for a long time thereafter, slipped in the final minutes to end the session with a marginal loss. Profit taking after recent gains contributed to the slightly lower close. Investors also reacted to data showing the country's exports grew at a softer pace in the month of April. The benchmark SMI, which hit a fresh record high at 11,408.61, ended the day at 11,340.27, down 8.47 points or 0.07%. Swiss Life Holding, UBS Group and Credit Suisse gained 1.7 to 2.1%. ABB, Swiss Re, Richemont, Holcim, SGS and Geberit advanced 0.6 to 1.3%.
