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.

Corrosion of candidate materials of insulating coating was investigated in natural convection lithium (Li) loop. The loop was constructed for present study and bulk specimens of Er2O3, Y2O3 and AlN were placed at several positions in the loop. The operation temperature was 400 °C in the low temperature region and 500 °C in the high temperature region. After the exposure, specimens were cleaned and the corrosion characteristics were investigated. The results indicated that the corrosion characteristics of the bulk specimens were similar to those obtained by the static test in the previous study.
