Despite starting the year strong with prices trending above US$106 per pound, uranium values have spent much of the last six months contracting.
“I’ve been following this market for about seven, pushing eight years,” Huhn said. ‘At this point, I’ve seen a lot of volatility, some screaming rallies, some extremely difficult to handle pullbacks and terrible sentiment on multiple occasions.’
He continued, “You know, we’ve got one or two of these 30 percent to 50 percent pullbacks every single year since I’ve been following this, and this year was no exception. But I would argue that the sentiment in the sector was worse than I’ve ever seen it this summer, which is extraordinary.”
Although prices have slipped around 20 percent since the January highs, they’ve stabilized above US$80 in early October.
The uranium insider expects prices to start moving higher this month. “The US utilities have a new budget, with the beginning of the fiscal year,’ he explained
Adding to that positive sentiment, Huhn also noted that the long-term outlook for nuclear and uranium demand is very positive, driven by factors like growth in data center electricity demand, support from major banks and tech companies, and policy initiatives from the US Department of Energy.
