Uranium: Bullish Despite Oil's Weakness

12 janv 2016

The average gasoline price nationally is now below $2/gallon for the first time since 2009. It’s been a mild winter thus far, but home heating oil prices are the lowest they’ve been since 2004. The collapse of oil has dragged prices lower for almost every product in the energy market, except uranium. Since January 1, 2014, the spot price of uranium has actually risen, versus a -78% drop in oil and a -48% decline in natural gas, with valid reasons to be bullish going forward. Sentiment is still incredibly negative due to the Fukushima disaster in 2011, but the COP21 climate meeting in Paris subtly endorsed nuclear as a way to meet emission targets.

Uranium prices hit 11-year low

July 20, 2016

Uranium prices have hit an 11-year low as the market struggles with oversupply of the key nuclear material, belying predictions for strong growth in nuclear power in countries such as China.
The price for uranium hit $24.9 a pound on Monday, its lowest level since 2005, according to Ux Consulting, which tracks the lowest available price in the market for delivery within three to 12 months.

The weakness in the uranium market has led producers to cut output. In April Canadian uranium company Cameco, which owns the world’s biggest uranium mine, said it would reduce output from its Canadian and US operations in response to the low prices.
Cameco’s uranium sales fell 16 per cent in the first quarter to 5.9m pounds. The company’s shares have dropped 19 per cent this year.
The uranium price over the next 12 months the price is likely to be fairly flat, according to Nicolas Carter, executive vice-president at Ux Consulting.
Still, some investors are betting on an eventual rebound in uranium prices, as nuclear power continues to expand in China.
