"The political vacuum in Greece is not conducive to building confidence"
- Christian Schmidt, a technical analyst for equities at Helaba Landesbank Hessen-Thueringen
Swiss stocks were little changed on Thursday amid political turmoil in Greece.
The Swiss blue-chip index SMI, a measure of the largest and most actively traded companies, lost 0.16%, or 9.53 points, to 5,926.60. The broader Swiss Performance Index erased 0.08%, or 4.41 points, to 5,546.97.
The Centre for European Economic Research is to announce its Swiss six-month economic expectations next Wednesday.
The index rose to 2.1 in March from 0 in February. Above zero indicates optimism, below indicates pessimism.
