Zurich Insurance downgraded to Equal Weight from Overweight at Barclays

Barclays downgraded Zurich Insurance (ZURVY) to Equal Weight from Overweight with a price target of CHF 580, down from CHF 595.

The analyst views the U.S. dollar weakness and S899 uncertainty as “unhelpful headwinds” for Zurich.
