# HSBC lifts silver forecasts as UBS warns of slowdown

Forecasts move apart: HSBC boosted 2026 and 2027 silver price targets, while UBS slashed its outlook, reflecting starkly different views on supply and demand. Deficit debate: HSBC sees deficits narrowing but persisting, while UBS’s 80% cut to its deficit estimate shifts its view to a flat price outlook. Mining output surge: Record production from Americas Gold and Silver adds to supply, potentially pressuring prices despite structural clean energy demand.
