"We know that there are some big macro issues out there"
- Henk Potts, an equity strategist at Barclays Wealth

Swiss stocks edged lower on Friday after a report showed U.S. companies added less employees than economists forecast.

The Swiss blue-chip index SMI, a measure of the largest and most actively traded companies, retreated 0.67%, or 40.89 points, to 6,056.79. The broader Swiss Performance Index fell 0.82%, or 46.48 points, to 5,655.48.

"We know that there are some big macro issues out there," said Henk Potts, an equity strategist at Barclays Wealth in London.

"But the conflicting view is a very bright corporate environment and valuations are still very attractive. It's a balancing act."
