In the month end report of TradeTech’s Nuclear Market Review (NMR), the consulting company forecast the upper end of the anticipated uranium price could reach US$110/pound during April. Tuesday’s spot uranium sealed-bid auction could set the pace for the entire month. NMR editor Treva Klingbiel wrote, ““Buyers are once again expected to compete aggressively for the material. Any material offered at fixed price is highly sought after by potential buyers.”
Active demand for spot uranium continues to outpace active supply by 2.5 times, according to the nuclear utility trade magazine which closely monitors development in the nuclear fuel sector. Fourteen U.S. and non-U.S. utilities are now actively seeking or evaluating offers for more than 40 million pounds of U3O8 equivalent, for delivery as early this year.
Nuclear energy provides about 16 percent of global electricity needs and about 20 percent of electricity needs in the United States. The scarcity of available uranium inventory has caused prices to soar over the past six years by more than 1100 percent. The spot uranium price has more than doubled over the past year and continues to rise strongly in 2007. According to industry watchers, the uranium supply shortage could soon reach a ‘crisis’ stage.
