Watches of Switzerland slid after Trump announced a 39% tariff on Swiss exports to the US, above the 31% announced on so-called Liberation Day.

JPMorgan Cazenove reiterated its ‘overweight’ rating on Ocado on Friday and lifted the price target to 437p from 400p.

JPM said that after changing its view on Ocado earlier this year and turning OW for the first time since 2018, it now sees more and more data points for improvements in operational performance coming through that should drive a continued, sustained re-rating.
