What happened
Market commentary published in Vancouver noted that the long-term uranium price ended September at $96.50 per pound, surpassing the 2007 peak of $95. The spot price closed the month at $89.63 per pound, according to figures from Cameco. The report also mentioned that the United States and the Republic of Korea announced a framework on September 30 anticipating approximately US$120 billion of Korean investment.
Why it matters
The fact that utilities are agreeing to pay higher prices years in advance suggests buyers are anticipating tighter supply later in the decade. Despite these high contract prices, market observers noted that Cameco shares had not seen corresponding gains, citing the slow pace of new term contracting by utilities.
