State Street denies that it is set to bid for troubled Swiss lender Credit Suisse after a report of an acquisition sparked swings in both companies' share prices.

On 8 June, the US market maker had initially declined to comment on a report on a Swiss blog that it was set to make an offer for Credit Suisse at a price of CHF9 a share.
