FinancialNewsMedia.com: Increased Nuclear Energy Generation Capacity Around The World Having Beneficial Effect On Value of Uranium

FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary

PALM BEACH, Fla., May 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Uranium is one of the few commodities that has seen two years of solid gains in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which most analysts believe indicates that the metal’s price is not dropping any time soon. However, on the supply side, current supply of the metal cannot meet demand. It is expected that constrained supply will push the price of uranium even higher this year. Last year, the price of uranium rose by 45%, going from about $29 per pound at the start of the year to $50 per pound in September. This increase followed growth in 2020, which saw uranium go from $24 in January to $30 by year’s end. Despite not being able to maintain that $50 level, the value of the energy fuel has remained at about $40 since then. An article in Mining […]

Uranium Week: Taking Advantage

Uranium Week: Taking Advantage

Largely absent from the spot market in 2022, utilities last week decided volatility had led the uranium spot price down far enough.

-Spot uranium price falls again on general market volatility
-Utilities pop their heads up
-Activity in term markets remains buoyant

Having all but abandoned a uranium spot market beholden to wider financial market volatility, utilities took advantage of yet another big swoon on markets last week, specifically on Wall Street, which had the spot uranium price tumbling once more.One might be drawing a long bow to connect earnings results from a US grocery chain and a discount retail chain with the demand/supply fundamentals of the nuclear energy industry, but having been sucked into the black hole of financial speculation, the spot uranium market is now but another financial plaything.Industry consultant TradeTech’s weekly spot price indicator fell another -US$4.50 to US$45.50/lb last week in transactions totalling 600,000lbs U3O8 […]

Rising Uranium Prices Precursor to Demand for US Nuclear Products

Rising Uranium Prices Precursor to Demand for US Nuclear Products

US Nuclear Corp. (OTC-QB: UCLE) stands to benefit dramatically from today’s unprecedented challenges in energy production. Big investors and government entities are buying up uranium mines, uranium metal, and investing in the new SMR Small Nuclear Reactors, because they sense an upcoming nuclear power renaissance as the world tries to pivot away from climate changing carbon fuels, especially Russian oil, gas, and coal, while at the same time fearing skyrocketing fuel prices. The last solution remaining to fill this vital gap is nuclear power.

Global demand for oil and gas is challenging capacity and creating unprecedented need for nuclear energy. Wind and solar are major energy providers, but their energy density is far too low to fill the gap

In addition to being a powerful and reliable energy source, nuclear energy is carbon-free

Uranium price has been rising sharply for the past year which tends to […]

US nuclear utilities have only 16 months of inventory, and the EU has only two years’ worth

Are Yellow Cake Shares, YCA, Undervalued At the Current Uranium Price?

Key points:

There’s a reasonable argument that Yellow Cake is currently undervalued

There’s another, equally valid, that they’re not

Trading positions depend upon which argument is believed Yellow Cake (LON: YCA) shares are an oddity really. For the company itself, YCA, doesn’t particularly do anything. But then that’s rather the point of the company itself, not to do anything but simply to be.The background here is that yellow cake is the traded form of uranium. This isn’t what is put into reactors, it’s earlier in the process than that. It’s actually the output from the normal mining and processing system. This is then what is traded around within the nuclear business. It’s only once an actual reactor is ready for refueling that the yellow cake (uranium oxides) is sent through the isotopic separation plant to become actual reactor fuel. Different reactors require different styles of fuel, but all of […]
