Uranium prices steady as EIA releases annual market report
The end-of-July spot price for uranium was $86.36 per pound, as reported by Cameco—roughly the same as it has been since February. Analytics firm Trading Economics reported a uranium futures price of $86.60 per pound, a figure that also has been holding steady since early April.
These updates come as the U.S. Energy Information Administration has released its 2025 Uranium Marketing Annual Report, which examines in detail multiple aspects of the U.S. uranium market. Data are derived from answers given in the Uranium Marketing Annual Survey, which collects information on contracts, deliveries (during the past year and projected for the next 10 years), purchased enrichment services, inventories, fuel assembly usage, and market requirements.

Simulations of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) evolving in the interplanetary (IP) space from the Sun up to 1 AU are performed in the framework of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The aim is to quantify the effect of the background solar wind and of the CME initiation parameters on the evolution and on the geo-effectiveness of CMEs. The shocks and magnetic clouds related to fast CMEs in the solar corona and interplanetary space play a crucial role in the study of space weather. Better predictions of space weather events require a deeper insight in the physics behind them. Different solar wind models are considered in combination with different CME initiation models: magnetic foot point shearing and magnetic flux emergence. The simulations show that the initial magnetic polarity substantially affects the IP evolution of the CMEs influencing the propagation velocity, the shape, the trajectory (and, thus, the geo-effectiveness).
