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.

Disruption erosion tests on La2O3 containing and pure tungsten materials were performed by the electron beam irradiation facility. As a result, it was found that the disruption erosion of La2O3 – W evaluated from the weight loss was three times larger than that of pure – W. The surface observations suggest that the splashing of the melted layer during the electron beam irradiation occurs only for the La2O3 – W, which results in the larger weight loss in disruption erosion. This is considered to be due to the lower melting point of the added La2O3.
