The uranium industry is witnessing a significant upswing, with prices at their highest in 16 years, surpassing $93 per pound. With the price level fast approaching Morgan Stanley's forecast for Q2 2024, funds invested in this sector are seeing an upward trajectory.  As an example, in Canada, the Horizons Global Uranium Index ETF (HURA) saw a rise of 16.08% over the week.

In the previous year, uranium prices escalated by 70% due to restricted supply yet growing demand from countries aiming for net-zero targets, with nuclear power increasingly viewed as an efficient way to cut emissions while ensuring reliable electricity generation capabilities.

Initiatives by the US Department of Energy towards securing domestic enriched uranium supplies have also played a crucial role in the recent price surge. This shift towards self-reliance highlights the strategic significance attributed to uranium as a vital resource for energy transition.
