Australian Dollar Post-RBA Boost May Continue as Uranium Prices Surge

Australian Dollar, AUD/USD, Uranium, Bond Yields, Recession – Talking Points

Wednesday’s Asia-Pacific Outlook

The Australian Dollar paced higher against the US Dollar through the New York trading session overnight, benefiting from Tuesday’s Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) rate decision.

The higher trajectory has some economists concerned that it may trigger a recession as households grapple with high debt levels.Spot uranium prices rose on news that the United States may see a government-led initiative to bolster the country’s […]

There’s a new push to mine more uranium in the U.S. It’s rooted in a growing demand for more nuclear power plants to curb climate change. And that’s become an incentive for reopening an old uranium mine near Grand Canyon National Park, but Native people in the area are wary of the industry’s deadly past.

Talk about the U.S. sanctioning Russian uranium pushed prices higher, says Scott Melbye, president of the Uranium Producers of America.
