Uranium Prices - Daily Uranium Spot Price Indicator

TradeTech began publishing a Daily Uranium Spot Price Indicator on March 1, 2011, which reflects data from completed and pending transactions in the uranium spot market.

Recently, TradeTech’s uranium spot price reached a 16-year high of US$91.00 per pound U3O8 in December 2023, climbing more than 90 percent over the year. The rise in market prices is linked to several developments, including increased demand for uranium related to growing global support for nuclear power. Governments that are advancing legislation to mitigate the effects of climate change by achieving net-zero carbon goals now often include funding for existing nuclear power plants, advanced power reactor designs, and domestic supplies of nuclear fuel. Meanwhile, there are also policies at work that are impacting nuclear fuel supply, including restrictions on Russian nuclear fuel imports, which have been drafted in response to Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The month of December 2023 was historically significant for the nuclear fuel industry as the United Nations’ COP28 climate conference officially called for accelerating the deployment of low-emission technologies, including nuclear energy, to help achieve "deep and rapid decarbonization." The decision represents the first time the 198 signatory countries to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change have included nuclear energy in the Global Stocktake.
 
Similar to TradeTech’s Weekly Uranium Spot Price Indicator and monthly NUEXCO Exchange Value, the Daily Uranium Spot Price Indicator reflects the company’s judgment of the price at which spot and near-term transactions for significant quantities of natural uranium concentrates could be concluded as of the close of business each day.
