Analysis: UBS stock price reflects expectations that the Swiss capital plan will make concessions.

Analysts at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods stated in a research report that following recent media reports, the stock price of UBS Group seems to reflect expectations of the proposal to increase the bank's capital requirements in Switzerland possibly being weakened by 9 to 10 billion US dollars. According to KBW, the Swiss government is nearing an important date to announce its decision, with April 22nd being the most likely choice. These analysts suggest that market sentiment at that time may depend on how measures that do not require approval from the Swiss parliament will be implemented, even if it is only a small part of the regulatory scheme. They added, "In short, if there are no changes to the regulatory proposal, it will greatly reduce the likelihood of it being further weakened and will have a negative impact on the stock price." The stock rose by 3.5%.
