In April 2025, the SIX markets experienced remarkable performance, ending the month with a significant increase in market capitalization. Throughout the four weeks of the month, the SMI index, which encompasses the major Swiss companies, recorded a growth of 3.2%, driven by increased investor confidence and a favorable global economic context.
The financial and technology sectors stood out, with shares of major banks and software companies showing strong demand. Investment in technology, in particular, benefited from the ongoing digitization of businesses, as well as renewed interest in artificial intelligence.
However, the energy sector faced challenges, experiencing a downward trend influenced by fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices, along with geopolitical uncertainty in some producing regions. Despite these challenges, analysts believe the Swiss market remains resilient, supported by solid economic fundamentals.
In terms of trading volume, SIX reported a 15% increase compared to March, reflecting the growing interest of investors looking to seize opportunities in a relatively stable interest rate environment.
The month was also marked by the introduction of new bond issues aimed at both institutional and individual investors, thereby contributing to diversifying investment options in the Swiss market.
At the end of the month, analysts expressed optimism, anticipating new dynamics that could continue to benefit the markets in the coming months. With the Swiss economy showing signs of growth, investors remain alert to opportunities that may arise in this favorable environment.
