The recent spot sealed-bid auction for Texas-mined uranium set three world records: most number of bidders, highest dollar price jump in one week, and the highest spot uranium price in history at US$85/pound.
At US$85/pound, the online financial news website StockInterview.com observed, “Uranium oxide concentrate has now begun to approach ‘precious metal’ status at $5.31/ounce, or 17.4 cents/gram. It is reminiscent of the silver price, which last traded around this level in August 2003. Metals become precious when there is a scarcity of available supply.”
Newly mined U.S. uranium was certainly treated like the new gold, this past Tuesday. “Bidding was extremely aggressive with a record number of bidders vying to purchase the material,” wrote Nuclear Market Review editor Treva Klingbiel. “Higher prices have not deterred potential buyers.” Klingbiel explained that uranium buyers were able to obtain a fixed-price for uranium.
Although a modest amount of 100,000 pounds of U3O8 (the processed uranium oxide concentrate) was sold at $85/pound, buyers bid the price higher instead of waiting to buy uranium from other miners demanding market-related pricing terms. Klingbiel added, “The year 2007 may well eclipse the extraordinary price increases witnessed last year."
