Uranium Week: Supply Deficit

Uranium Week: Supply Deficit

Any sanctions against Russian uranium will only widen an already existing supply deficit as the world looks to nuclear energy as a “green” alternative.

-No word yet on uranium sanctions
-Sprott looks to list in New York
– Quieter week in the spot market

US and European Union economic sanctions against Russia have yet to formally include nuclear fuel imports, but the uranium market is making the assumption some type of restriction, that would allow sufficient time for utilities to secure alternative supplies, is inevitable.The risk that sanctions could be imposed is placing ever greater pressure on utilities to lock in commitments with existing suppliers or emerging suppliers that are perceived to present less jurisdictional, supply chain, and transportation risks, industry consultant TradeTech reports.This is exerting even more pressure on the market and sellers are responding by actively raising their offer prices or seeking long-term contracts that will protect […]

Market volatility to hit Q1 earnings for base metals miners

Market volatility to hit Q1 earnings for base metals miners

Stock image. As a result, after strong growth in 2021, Adams thinks that the base metals sector will now see an average quarterly EBITDA decrease of about 14%.

Speaking to The Northern Miner , Adams said he has concerns about the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the sector.

“The war will likely dampen consumption of many base metals as [supply] chains are interrupted. Russia is a big player and it‘s not like others can quickly fill the gap,” he said. “And this creates concerns. Couple that with the ‘r’ word [recession], and the impact on earnings for base metals could be significant.”

With global inflation currently exceeding what most expected, plus a war in Ukraine reducing Russia’s exports and then the added recent lockdowns in China that have shuttered parts of its domestic and international markets, the once staid base metals sector is facing challenges it has never seen.However, while these […]

Here Are 4 Opportunities Within a Very Challenging Market

Here Are 4 Opportunities Within a Very Challenging Market

" The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word ‘crisis.’ One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger–but recognize the opportunity ." – John F. Kennedy

The market has been dominated in recent months about worries about surging prices, the beginning of aggressive monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve to squash inflation, and the conflict in Ukraine. These concerns have pummeled many sectors of the market including homebuilders, transportation stocks, as well as electric vehicle concerns among myriad others.

However, there are few parts of market that should prosper from these developments. While rising interest rates are not good for the housing market and an inverted yield curve is a negative for banks, it is a positive for insurers who will get higher yields from their credit portfolios. With the average 30-year mortgage rate above 5% for the first […]

Uranium miner still set on WA mine despite approval knockback, Indigenous opposition

A multinational mining company says it remains committed to a controversial uranium project in WA, despite the state government declining to extend its environmental approval.

Canada-based Cameco Corporation spent US$430 million acquiring the Yeelirrie uranium deposit, near Wiluna in the northern Goldfields, in 2012.
