Multiple Catalysts Converging this Fall – Uranium Update

Following the publication of both the UxC’s quarterly report and the World Nuclear Association’s (WNA) biannual nuclear fuel report, we have updated our uranium supply/demand model to reflect evolving market conditions since our last update on June 3rd, 2019. Following various sector updates, most importantly the outcome of Section 232, we have also updated our uranium company assessment. We are maintaining our bullish outlook on the uranium sector. We expect multiple catalysts converging in October 2019 may bring utilities back to the term market to secure long term supply.

Uranium Update – 232 Decision: Positive for Everyone but U.S. Miners

The official decision on 232 was announced on Friday night. In our view this is positive for the overall uranium market, as we believe its resolution should allow utilities and producers to enter into long-term agreements, which should push the uranium price higher. While positive for the overall market, the premium that U.S. producers and developers had acquired over the last ~18 months is likely to come out of the market.

Uranium Update – 232 Decision Coming Soon?

Recent events suggest that a Presidential decision on Section 232 investigation into Uranium is coming soon, which in our view should be a catalyst for the entire uranium space. We have summarized our thoughts below.

Uranium – Red Cloud’s Nuclear Summer Conferences

Earlier this week, Red Cloud hosted a pair of conferences in New York and Toronto featuring presentations from seven uranium developers and explorers and other industry experts. Both conferences were kicked off by a presentation from Philip Johnson, Vice President – Fuel Cycle, of the UxC, which is one of the nuclear industry’s leading market research and analysis companies. Philip presented an overview of the uranium market, which included the UxC’s outlook on global nuclear demand and uranium supply. Seven presentations followed from Anfield Energy (TSXV:AEC), Appia Energy (CSE:API), Blue Sky Uranium (TSXV:BSK), CanAlaska Uranium (TSXV:CVV), Fission 3.0 (TSXV:FUU), Fission Uranium (TSX:FCU) and Laramide Resources (TSX:LAM). The New York conference ended with a Q&A with Arthur Hyde, Partner & Co-Portfolio Manager at Segra Capital Management, which consisted of a discussion on recent macroeconomic trends and the outlook on the uranium sector.

Uranium – Nuclear Summer is Coming

A new uranium bull market is coming – sooner than most people think. Our work suggests that the current price environment is unsustainable and that the long-term the price needs to increase 72% to more than US$55/lb U3O8e to stimulate the market enough to bring on new production (Figures 4, 5 and 6). In this report, we evaluate both the supply and demand fundamentals of the market, the real cost to bring on new supply and the price response required to do so. In addition, we evaluate most uranium companies and provide a detailed analysis of stocks that we believe are likely to benefit with the coming bull market.
