Swiss Stocks Drop After U.S. Tariff Move -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Aug 04, 2025

0723 GMT - Swiss stocks fall sharply in early trade after President Trump slapped Switzerland with a 39% tariff. Switzerland's SMI is down 1.5%, dropping to levels last seen in April, in its first reaction to the tariff news given that markets were shut Friday due to a local holiday. Zurich Insurance, UBS and Roche are among the biggest decliners. Trump last week decided to impose a 39% tariff on Switzerland, close to the highest tariffs of any country in the world and higher than the 31% rate floated in April, that is due to take effect Thursday. "This puts Swiss exporters at a considerable disadvantage compared to companies in the EU, Japan, or South Korea, which have a baseline tariff of 15%," Vontobel's Mark Diethelm says in a note.
