ZURICH (Reuters) - The Swiss National Bank reported a first half loss of 95.2 billion Swiss francs ($100.08 billion) on Friday, the biggest six month loss posted by the central bank since it was set up in 1907.
The SNB's results were hit by stock market declines, falling bond prices and the franc's appreciation which severely dented the value of its massive foreign currency holdings.
