However, the year-to-date average price remains the lowest since 2005, as the nuclear fuel industry draws down excess supplies that accumulated after the global financial crisis and the Fukushima accident in Japan(2).
In the latest quarterly issue of the Uranium Market Study, TradeTech continues its evaluation of market dynamics and identifies root causes of current trends, while incorporating the underlying fundamentals into the latest long-term uranium supply and demand analysis. The report also includes spot and long-term uranium price forecasts through 2030.
"As utilities enter the market looking for stable and diversified long-term uranium deliveries, they are currently met with limited options. Moreover, suppliers are seeking to cover full costs and provide a sustainable return. In recent weeks this has led to upward pressure on , which in turn, has provided competitive leeway for near-term prices to rise," states TradeTech President Treva E. Klingbiel.
In Issue 4, TradeTech also evaluates sources of long-term uranium demand and uranium mining projects that are best positioned to meet future supply needs, as well as those that may be affected by current market conditions. Central to this evaluation is the report's feature analysis of "SWU(3) for U: Uranium Demand Flexibility through Underfeeding," which highlights the operating fundamentals and advantages of enrichment underfeeding(4), as well as effects the practice has on revenue streams for uranium enrichment companies.
TradeTech's Uranium Market Study Issue 4 also provides in-depth reviews of pivotal uranium projects, selected junior exploration and mining companies, and project financing, as well as secondary uranium supplies, supply/demand data, and supplier and utility profiles.
