UBS projects a mixed yet cautiously optimistic U.S. economic outlook through 2027, anticipating fiscal changes and increased tariffs under a Republican-controlled government. Initial moderate economic slowdown is expected, with nonfarm payroll growth declining to 148,000 jobs per month by September 2025, while inflation is predicted to ease, prompting potential interest rate cuts. An economic acceleration is forecasted for 2027 as tariff effects and tax policy uncertainties diminish, though high deficits and unpredictable factors may influence growth.
Gold prices have surged to a record high, reaching $2,706 per troy ounce, with analysts at UBS predicting a rise to $2,900 by September 2025.

Political factors and monetary easing from central banks, including the European Central Bank's recent rate cuts, are expected to further support gold prices in the coming weeks.
Palladium prices are expected to lag behind other precious metals due to ongoing volatility and elevated short positions in the market. While demand from the autocatalyst sector remains strong amid declining electric vehicle sales, long-term prospects are bleak as the shift to battery electric vehicles is anticipated to oversupply the metal.

UBS analysts predict that palladium will underperform compared to other precious metals due to ongoing market volatility and high short positions. While demand from the automotive sector remains steady amid falling electric vehicle sales, a reduction in US supply and increased scrap from old autocatalysts are expected to tighten the market in the short term. However, the long-term outlook is grim, as the shift towards electric vehicles is likely to lead to an oversupply of palladium.
Chinese stocks have surged 16% to 20% since late September, reaching two-year highs amid optimism for government stimulus.

Additionally, significant capital outflows from India suggest a shift in market sentiment.
