"Nervousness over the economic implications of a potential Greek exit will keep business and investor confidence down"
- James Knightley, senior economist at ING Groep NV
Swiss stocks were little changed on Tuesday on political impasse in Greece.
The Swiss blue-chip index SMI, a measure of the largest and most actively traded companies, lost 0.18%, or 10.50 points, to 5,865.16. The broader Swiss Performance Index fell 0.30%, or 16.41 points, to 5,479.35.
"Nervousness over the economic implications of a potential Greek exit will keep business and investor confidence down, making it less likely that firms will go out and invest and hire workers, further undermining the European growth story," said James Knightley, senior economist at ING Groep NV in London.
