ZURICH/BERLIN, June 15(Reuters) - Here are some of the main
factors that may affect Swiss stocks on Monday:
CORONAVIRUS
Beijing reported its second consecutive day of record new
numbers of COVID-19 cases on Monday, adding urgency to efforts
to rein in a sudden resurgence of the coronavirus in the Chinese
capital. Oil fell more than 2% on Monday, extending losses from
last week, as new coronavirus infections hit China and the
United States. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL4N2DS0X5 urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL4N2DS0O0

ZUR ROSE ROSEG.S
Chief Executive Walter Oberhaensli told Finanz und
Wirtschaft paper demand eased in April and May from levels in
March when many people stocked up on supplies amid the spread of
the new coronavirus. "Now the direction is toward a normal
level, but we gained around 10% more new customers at the end of
March versus the end of 2019, and long experience shows new
customers stay with us as a rule," he said.
WATCHMAKERS
Family-owned watchmaker Audemars Piguet will slightly miss
the 1 billion Swiss franc ($1.05 billion) sales level this year
as business contracts 15-25%, boss Francois-Henry Bennahmias
tells the NZZ am Sonntag paper. Production is running at around
80% of normal levels as it maintains physical distancing among
watchmakers. He calls business in May "surprisingly good and I
think June will once again be better".
CEMBRA MONEY BANK CMBN.S
CEO Robert Oudmayer told Finanz und Wirtschaft its customers
are spending significantly more since the middle of May as
pandemic restrictions ease, with credit card volumes back to a
"good level". He said demand for consumer and auto loans had
also increased since mid-May.
