As uranium boom looms, these ASX explorers are ready to ride the wave

The urainum market could pick up speed quickly. New York fund managers Leigh Goehring and Adam Rozencwajg have flagged that, as quickly mobilised spot volumes become scarce, speculators could use the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (SPUT) to push yellowcake prices sharply higher .

SPUT currently has more than 61.7 million pounds of U3O8 under lock and key – and is considered by Goehring and Rozencwajg as a barometer of uranium investor sentiment.

“When investors are bullish on uranium, the Sprott Uranium Trust often trades at a significant premium to the value of its uranium holdings,” they said.

The uranium market could provide lucrative profits

Receive up-to-date information about the company directly via push notification The fact that a pound of uranium currently costs around 50 US dollars could be just the beginning. It is still a good 90 U.S. dollars short of the old highest price. But there’s always room for improvement. Around two-thirds of global uranium production comes from Kazakhstan, Canada and Australia. Last year, Kazakhstan produced about 43 percent of the world’s uranium, Canada about 15 percent and Namibia about 11 percent. About 55 percent is now produced by in-situ leaching. And various figures show that the demand for uranium is growing. Almost 60 new nuclear power plants were under construction at the end of 2022. There are 439 nuclear reactors in operation worldwide. According to the Nuclear Fuel Report, uranium demand is expected to increase by 27 percent by 2030 and 38 percent by 2040.

The uranium market could provide lucrative profits

The uranium industry is back. But global reserves are still low and the potential for supply shortages is high.

The copper, uranium, lithium outlook and 7 stocks to watch

Copper prices are expected to rise in the long term due to increased demand from decarbonisation and electrification

There is a supply deficit of uranium due to lack of investment in the industry

The lithium market is more saturated than the copper and uranium markets, but there is still long-term potential for growth

The near-universal investor enthusiasm for commodities in calendar 2022 has tapered off in 2023 so far and for a couple of reasons, investment insiders Todd Warren and Andrew Hines told James Gerrish in a Market Matters webinar on Thursday.Hines, head of research at Shaw and Partners, emphasised China’s lower-than-expected economic growth in the first half of this year as a key reason. And in a broader sense, commodity prices also pulled back on the realisation that the “inflation dragon was far from tamed,” he said.“You need to separate the big picture, long-term thematics of decarbonisation and […]

Denison Mines: Leverage To Future Uranium Prices At A Reasonable Valuation

AscentXmedia/E+ via Getty Images The big picture: uranium and uranium equities

Uranium prices are quietly rising, but it remains unclear whether this recent movement is driven by speculators front-running the launch of the Zuri-invest Uranium Actively Managed Certificate , or if it signifies a more significant structural change in the uranium market. However, investment vehicles like the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (SPUT) are not responsible for this price increase, as SPUT has been trading at a discount to NAV since March.

Therefore, we are observing an interesting divergence at the moment. Sentiment in the uranium sector is low, as evidenced by the 50% correction of many uranium equities from their previous highs. However, simultaneously, both the uranium spot price and long-term price are showing an upward trend. If we are indeed at an inflection point where the uranium market is returning to being production-driven, an opportunity presents itself for investors […]

Power Metal Resources chief executive Sean Wade is bullish on uranium and looking to do deals

Rick Rule, one of the most prominent resources investors in Canada, has suddenly appeared on the Power Metal Resources PLC (AIM:POW) share register.

Or is it sudden?

It depends how you look at it.

Rule is famously a uranium bull, and Power Metal Resources has systematically been building up its uranium position in the Athabasca, in Canada, one of the most prestigious U-addresses in the world.It’s also right in Rick Rule’s back yard and proximal to lots of major and minor players in the uranium space that he can feel comfortable with.So, so far so good.But there’s more to it than that.Rule’s arrival on the Power Metal register came as part of a broader £2.7mln fundraising undertaken following the appointment of new chief executive Sean Wade.And here we begin to get to the nub of the matter.Wade was formerly a senior associate of Michael Rawlinson at Cazenove and Liberum, and has subsequently […]

Energy Fuels: Empowering Decarbonization In The Digital Age

RgStudio Investment Thesis

It’s 2 months since I wrote my previous bullish analysis on Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE: UUUU ), that I titled "Left For Dead, Unjustifiably."

And since that time, so much has happened. Were the recent earnings result the main catalyst for this stock? You may be surprised to hear that it’s not even close.

Energy Fuels is primed to do quite well in the twelve months. And I know that many investors have heard a similar spiel in the past two years. But I believe that this time it’s different.And here’s why. Why Invest in Uranium? Energy Fuels’ prospects are predominantly tied to the uranium story. Yes, it does hold exposure to vanadium’s prospects (that I previously estimated to be worth around $15 million). But the vast majority of its business is tied to uranium.Next, with energy prices for oil and natural gas in the U.S. materially lower […]

Private placement: The uranium company winning in Argentina

Click to enlarge Blue Sky Uranium Corp. ( TSXV:BSK ) launched a $1.5 million non-brokered private placement to help secure its leading position in Argentina.

The company will issue up to 20 million units at $0.075 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one transferrable common share purchase warrant.

Amarillo Grande was an in-house discovery of a new district that has the potential to be a leading domestic supplier of […]

Cameco: Riding The Wave Of Positive Momentum In The Uranium Sector

Marcus Lindstrom Investment Thesis

Cameco Corporation’s (NYSE: CCJ ) share price has finally caught a bid. Why? Yes, one could say that it was because Cameco is attractively priced. And yes, Cameco does have compelling near-term prospects.

But it’s more than this, too. Indeed, I argue that the news flow in the past few days has improved, with the U.S. Senate providing the signal that the political tide is finally turning more positive for the uranium sector.

In the analysis that follows, I describe why to consider investing in the uranium sector. Why a short squeeze is not in your interest. And finally, why Cameco stock itself is compelling. Why Invest in Uranium? Deep Value Returns’ members know my vision for Future Energy. This marries up the confluence of 3 different dynamics, I call them the Three Ds: Deglobalization Decarbonization Digitalization. Uranium falls, as do most of my stocks, into these […]
