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.

Mercury, krypton, nickel, and iron with anomalous isotopic compositions were found to be produced on or in gold electrons during light water electrolysis. In addition, silicon and magnesium with anomalous isotopic compositions were also detected in the precipitates separated from the gold electrode electrolyzed at extremely high current densities. After the electrolysis, the surface of the electrode exhibited an extraordinary structure, i.e., a number of microcraters like volcanoes were developed. The structure of the outside wall of the craters was very much like that of the precipitates, and hexagonal crystallite layers in the inside wall of the craters suggested a partial recrystallization of the electrode material due to some intense heat evolution. The craters developed along the rim of the microcracks, microholes, and scraped edges of the electrode. These results suggest that some nuclear transmutation reactions occur during the electrolysis to produce these effects.
