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 magnetic configurations of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator are sensitive to perturbations of the magnetic field resonant with /2 = 1. Such perturbations can be caused by deviations of the current filament positions of the real coil system from the design due to the accuracy achievable during the manufacture of the coils and assembly of the magnet system. The sensitivity of the magnetic field to the different types of error has been investigated by introducing randomly distributed errors to the coil shapes and positions within the given tolerances. A statistical analysis of these error distributions was performed. This procedure will be used to assess the magnetic configuration of W7-X before the completion of each assembly step.
