India, Aug. 18 -- After a flat start, the Switzerland market turned weak Monday morning and then spent the rest of the day's trading session in negative territory as investors remained reluctant to pick up stocks as they looked ahead to a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and several European leaders to discuss the situation in Ukraine.
Investors also looked ahead to the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole Symposium that gets underway on Thursday. Several chiefs of central banks are scheduled to make speeches at the symposium.
