Investors remained wary amid strengthening expectations that the Federal Reserve Bank will start unwinding its bond purchasing program some time later this year, while a Bloomberg News survey in June showed a more precise date of asset purchase paring by FED – at the central banks meeting on October 29-30th. It also stated a reduction of monthly purchases to 65 billion USD.
Meanwhile, earlier today official data pointed that ZEW (Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung) Economic Sentiment indicator for Switzerland remained unchanged in June at the level of 2.2, as this was the same reading during the preceding period.

About 2/3 of the respondents predicted stable economic conditions.
