Strong Demand-Supply Fundamentals for 2023

As 2022 ended, most of the main bearish risks for the U.S. (rising interest rates), EU (cold winter), and China (zero-COVID) faded suddenly and nearly simultaneously, setting the market for a more pro-cyclical outlook. The upward revision in global growth, the timing effect of the China credit impulse and the surprise ending of China’s zero-COVID policy have provided a tailwind for the metals market.

Valor picks up more ground in the hunt for uranium

ASX-listed Valor Resources has expanded its ground in the uranium rich Saskatchewan area in Canada, expanding its Surprise Creek tenure by 20 square kilometres. One of the new tenements comes a historical showing of 1.2 per cent copper.

Opinion: Nuclear Energy Security – Sleep Walking Into The Next Energy Crisis?

Summary

Nuclear energy produces roughly one-fifth of electricity in the EU and USA.

The uranium market and trade routes are concentrated, making them susceptible to disruption.

A uranium supply shock could spark sky-high prices. peterschreiber.media Commentators fundamentally underappreciate the vulnerability of the West’s nuclear industry to Russia, and the sector may be about to become embroiled in the Russia-West economic conflict. The EU is debating sanctioning Russia’s nuclear sector, with the EU parliament passing a resolution by 489 votes to 36 urging European Union leaders to include sanctions on Russia’s nuclear industry in the 10 th sanctions package, which is expected before the 24 th of February. Tensions will escalate as President Putin uses all means at his disposal to secure a victory in Ukraine, including action to discourage Western support for Ukraine.

Western Uranium Adds Processing Capabilities to Uranium and Vanadium Project

Dean Bristow February 16, 2023 No Comments The North American uranium market is heating up. In December 2022, the US Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration aw arded its first contracts for the US strategic uranium reserve. The reserve is intended to be a backup source of supply for US nuclear power plants in the event of a significant market disruption. Remarkably, this was actually passed by Congress in 2020, well before one of the world’s dominant players in the uranium market alienated most of the world with its incursion into Ukraine.

Typically I don’t like to give self-serving bureaucrats much credit, but at least they got this one right and on a timely basis. Ever since Russian President Vladimir Putin began his “special military operation”, or war for those of us who aren’t worried about 15 years in a Russian prison for calling it that, uranium supply has […]

Uranium Market Shows Strength During Month of January

Tailwinds were swiftly blowing behind the uranium markets during the month of January, according to a Sprott report . If the trend continues, consider getting exposure via ancillary services that support the uranium market, such as mining.

“January was a strong month for uranium markets, along with the broad equity and bond markets, but a mixed month for the commodity complex overall,” the Sprott report noted. “The U3O8 uranium spot price rose from $48.31 to $50.75 per pound in January, a 5.05% increase, while uranium mining equities gained 14.65%.”

“In 2022, the fundamentals for uranium and nuclear energy significantly strengthened and were bolstered by a continuous flow of endorsements from global governments,” the report added. “Despite this, uranium mining equities were dragged down in 2022 by their systemic risk to the overall markets, not surprising given last year’s bear market in which the S&P 500 Index fell 18.11%.” Shifting Investor Sentiment

$UUUU : Uranium Miner Energy Fuels Reacts from Weekly Blue box

Energy Fuels is the largest US miner of the uranium. It produces the uranium both in form of triuranium octoxide and uranium hexafluoride. Besides the core business, the secondary products of Energy Fuels are rare earth elements and vanadium. Founded in 2006, the company has its headquarters in Lakewood, Colorado.
