French 10-year bond yields have surged to 4.77%, exceeding those of Italy and Greece, as investors flee to German Bunds. The situation is exacerbated by political uncertainty ahead of the 2027 presidential election and fears of a sovereign debt contagion across the eurozone.

Swiss minister condemns bid to soften UBS capital requirements

Switzerland’s finance minister Karin Keller-Sutter condemned a parliamentary compromise to ease UBS’s capital requirements, saying it benefits the bank at taxpayers’ expense. The plan would let cheaper AT1 debt partly fund foreign-unit capital, reducing the total CET1 burden from about $20bn, a shift UBS welcomed but Keller-Sutter doubts will survive the legislative process as Parliament weighs post-Credit Suisse reforms.

UBS sees Micron’s earnings power entering a structural reset as memory tightens

UBS argues Micron’s earnings power is set for a structural reset amid tight memory supply, noting Nvidia cut HBM content in its VR300 GPUs to 512GB from 768GB to stretch scarce memory. HBM premiums are widening, with 2027 industry HBM ASP seen up ~79% YoY and HBM4E potentially above $30/GB, while NAND demand remains healthy. UBS raises Micron’s 2026–2028 EPS to $74.13, $184.89 and $265.65 (well above consensus) and maintains a $1,625 target price, based on roughly 11x its predicted 2029 EPS of about $165.

UBS bets gold to reach $5,000/oz by mid-2027

UBS expects gold to climb to $5,000 per ounce in the first half of 2027, though near-term risks remain as Middle East tensions and inflation concerns influence markets. Spot gold hovered around $4,295/oz, having fallen about 23% from a January record. The Fed left rates at 3.50%–3.75%; UBS sees inflation moderating gradually, keeping rates on hold this year and resuming a easing cycle in 2027, with weakness toward $4,000/oz potentially a buying opportunity.
