Uranium Energy (UEC) Drops 8.96% on War Uncertainties

Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSEAmerican:UEC) is one of the 10 Stock Market Casualties You Can’t Ignore Today.

Uranium Energy extended its losing streak to a third consecutive day on Friday, shedding 8.96 percent to finish at $12.09 apiece, as investors unloaded portfolios amid lingering uncertainties from the ongoing tensions in the Middle East.

Part of the drop was sparked by questions about whether President Donald Trump would seize some 970 pounds of enriched uranium in Iran that the latter could potentially use to build nuclear weapons.

However, any further invasion could create a larger risk, as experts say that such a move cannot be done without the US having to deploy a sizable number of troops into Iran.

Adding to the sentiment were announcements from President Donald Trump that he was not interested in a ceasefire with Iran, which sparked further concerns for the global economy.
