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.

The effects that accompany mechanical deformations (intensive slip, crack, and break formation) of crystalline media are considered. Using the concept of parametric resonance in deuterium nuclear layers, the mechanism is shown whereby processes characterized by energies ≤1 eV can lead to effects that are characterized by energies ≥100 eV. These processes take place in a zone of concentration of shearing stress at the moment of the formation of a tangential break of the media movement. The electron-ion interactions provide an added source of ion heating. Electrons are heated in the oscillation force field in the same manner as ions. The effect can be outlined as the formation of the plasmalike state on the crack boundary under mechanical fracture of crystals. This can be a possible cause of deuteron-proton fusion at room temperature in crystalline media.
