Swiss Market Ends On Strong Note

The Switzerland market closed notably higher on Friday after holding firm throughout the trading session, in line with markets across Europe and elsewhere, amid rising optimism the U.S. and Iran will strike a deal soon.

U.S. President Donald Trump said a “great settlement” to end the conflict with Iran has been reached, and that a signing ceremony could take place in Europe as early as this weekend, although Tehran said no final deal has been approved and that disputes over frozen funds and Strait of Hormuz security remain unresolved.
