In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.
With signs of China and the United States re-igniting their trade war, it has been a week of high volatility for the global energy industry, especially with the crude oil price plunging to its lowest since May. However, some sectors have still managed to register gains despite the uncertainty, with uranium being one of them.
The American uranium industry has regained the spotlight amid the ongoing nuclear energy renaissance, particularly following a statement by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright that the country is looking to boost its strategic uranium reserves to buffer against Russian supplies. While the United States is a major consumer of nuclear fuel, it produces only a fraction of it and relies heavily on imports. The White House is now aggressively working to change that as part of its efforts to increase confidence in the long-term prospects of nuclear power generation.
As a result, uranium futures in the US recently soared to their multi-month high of over $83 per pound and are now hovering just below the $79 per pound mark.
Moreover, China’s recent curbs on the export of critical rare earth minerals present a significant opportunity for local suppliers, who have enjoyed strong support from the White House over the last few weeks.
