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.

Worldwide cold fusion experiments have given anomalous results with regard to levels of kilo-electronvolts per atom excess heat, 4He generation, level of emission of neutrons and tritons with a 10−4 to 10−7 neutron-to-triton yield ratio, and emission of high-energy charged particles, which cannot be explained by the known d + d fusion process. A previously proposed multibody deuteron fusion model in solids is elaborated further to explain these anomalous results. A transient dynamics in metal deutendes is proposed to generate close pairs and clusters of deuterons with time-dependent deep atomic potential inducing a strong screening effect on Coulomb barrier penetration. Very approximate numerical estimations of reaction rates for the competing 2D, 3D, and 4D fusion processes in PdDx and TiDx are obtained with high-level reaction rates enough to explain observed heat levels. Decay channels of virtual compound states, i.e., 4He*, 5Li*, 6Li*, 7Be*, and 8Be* by 2D, H + 2D, 3D, H + 3D, and 4D fusions, are discussed in detail to know the nuclear products. Major generation of 4He by H + 2D, 3D, H + 3D, and 4D processes are concluded. Identification of particle types and their specific released kinetic energies is given to explain measured charged-particle spectra by deuteron beam implantation experiments.
