UBS refreshes its silver prices outlook for 2025
-- UBS said it expects silver prices to climb as high as $40 per ounce in the coming months, driven by investor appetite for U.S. dollar alternatives, continued ETF inflows, and a weaker greenback. UBS raised its near-term silver price forecast to $38/oz and said it could reach up to $40/oz is possible. Silver is already up 26% year-to-date, outpacing expectations amid strong momentum trading and a breakout above the $34.60 technical resistance level. The silver market is small, just 11% the size of gold, which means even modest shifts in allocations by retail or institutional investors can move prices meaningfully. ETF holdings have risen to around 751 million ounces, including 35.6 million ounces of inflows so far this year, the highest since 2023. Futures market positioning remains net long by roughly 304 million ounces, up by 103 million ounces since late 2024. UBS said macroeconomic tailwinds such as anticipated U.S. interest rate cuts and softening dollar strength could keep the precious metal in favor, even if industrial demand remains steady. The firm downplayed the need for reserve manager or industrial buying, citing structural tightness in the silver market and strong interest from private investors. Global silver demand is expected to hit 1.2 billion ounces this year, while supply is seen rising just 3% to 1.05 billion ounces, resulting in a fifth consecutive market deficit of around 149 million ounces, according to Silver Institute projections. UBS also sees potential for the gold-silver ratio to fall below 90x, further supporting silver's relative appeal. While staying long silver remains the bank's core recommendation, it also favors strategies that monetize downside risk, such as selling puts, citing attractive option volatility and a bullish price outlook.

UBS shares slide 7% after analysts say Swiss capital rules put buybacks at risk
By Tommy Reggiori Wilkes LONDON (Reuters) -Shares in UBS dropped 7% on Tuesday as analysts voiced concern about the impact of new government proposals to force the Swiss lender to hold $26 billion in extra capital, including on the bank's plans to return cash to shareholders. UBS' stock had risen after the government on Friday announced its proposals to prevent another Credit Suisse-style meltdown. But on Tuesday the shares reversed those gains and fell sharply. By 1235 GMT they were down 6.6% at 26 francs, set for their biggest one-day drop in two months. Swiss markets were closed on Monday. The bank's capital returns to investors for 2026 and beyond remain uncertain, Deutsche Bank analysts said in a note, even as UBS on Friday reaffirmed its intention to return $3 billion in capital this year. Traders also cited worries about the impact on UBS's buyback plans as a reason for the share price fall. JP Morgan analysts said they had already lowered their buyback estimates to $3.5 billion from $6 billion for next year, and to $4 billion from $8 billion in 2027, because the Swiss proposals were the "worse-case scenario". "We are thus already pricing the worst case scenario, leaving upside from any improvement in the final rules. We think with the share price reaction today, UBS shares have priced these proposals more than enough," they said on Tuesday. Others disagreed about the likely impact on buybacks. UBS should be able to manage the extra capital demands without affecting future buybacks and dividends, Citi analysts said. But they were worried about the rules being amended as they move through a consultation and legislative process, and about UBS' consensus earnings momentum, "which continues to be weaker than peers on ongoing NII (net interest income) softness." Uncertainty over the capital requirements have clobbered UBS shares. So far this year the stock has lost nearly 9%, against a 30% rally in a European banking share index. While the government proposals confirmed some of UBS' worst fears, the bank will have six to eight years to prepare for them becoming law, a time in which the rules may change. UBS executives say the additional capital burden will put the Zurich-based bank at a disadvantage to rivals and on Friday called the requirements "extreme" and "neither proportionate nor internationally aligned." Switzerland's Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter said the measures were crucial for financial stability and would protect taxpayers.

Xerox's CEO takes the long view on ‘reinvention'
In today's CEO Daily: Diane Brady on Xerox's reinvention. The big story: U.S. and China agree to framework deal. The markets: Up but not soaring after U.S.-China framework. Analyst notes from UBS, Convera, and Deutsche Bank. Plus: All the news and watercooler chat from Fortune. Good morning. Xerox CEO Steve Bandrowczak is a determined man. Disowned by his family at 16, he took 10 years to complete a two-year degree from a community college while working nights on the Long Island Railroad. So he doesn't mind playing the long game when it comes to what he calls the 'Reinvention' of a 118-year-old brand that's struggling with a shrinking print business, geopolitical headwinds, and short sellers seeking to profit from the company's distress. As Bandrowczak told me yesterday at the Fortune COO Summit, the shift from being a manufacturer of copier machines to a services and software company is well underway, 'this public reinvention is critical and the hardest part is the second half, which is where we are now.' Hard is an understatement. Bandrowczak's recent decision to cut the dividend to reduce debt as he navigates tariffs, a tricky acquisition, and a volatile economy sent a struggling stock even lower. 'When you're reinventing a company, it's always a lot easier to do it in private,' said Bandrowczak. 'However, we rebuilt an incredible board…and I want to reward the shareholders who have stuck with us for so many years.' As for the skeptics, Bandrowczak says he doesn't care because he's confident that his strategy will yield results. As long as his board and leadership team have his back, he'll stick with the plan. After all, starting out he 'was going from garbage to garbage scraps, trying to get enough money to put gas in my car. I don't fear anything.' Click here for the full interview.
