Portfolio Pulse from Erica Kollmann
Uranium stocks, including Cameco Corporation (CCJ) and Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC), are rising after Kazatomprom announced a likely production shortfall due to a sulphuric acid shortage, pushing uranium prices to a 15-year high. Energy Fuels Inc. (UUUU) and Uranium Royalty Corp. (UROY) also saw their shares increase. The demand for uranium is growing as countries seek renewable energy sources, and nuclear energy plans are being revived.
