BREAKING NEWS Germany drops opposition to #nuclear power

Berlin has signalled to Paris it will no longer block French efforts to ensure nuclear power is treated on par with renewable energy in EU legislation

This is a massively positive development for nuclear power in Europe and #uranium 🇪🇺

"Restart production was around 3.5 million pounds below what was expected or had been put out on guidance publicly by restarting producers last year" ~Dustin Garrow

Brownfield restarts are the proverbial low hanging fruit as prices go up. What do you think happens to greenfield #uranium pounds?
May 13, 2025 at 9:31 AM
This has various important implications for the uranium sector, some more obvious then others and importantly some will likely have a delayed effect.

As has the trade news between the US and China. I discuss all this in a 4-page update that's available for everyone on: patreon.com/contrariancodex

Sprott has raised $25.55 million through a non-brokered private placement as a massive statement of intent that it does not plan to sell any of the physical #uranium they hold.

For all those who were hoping that those pounds would be released, tough luck.

The #uranium demand side has been a cascade of bullish news over the past few years

Meanwhile, the supply side has faced one headwind after another. From the largest producers (as below) in the world to smaller developers, supply disruptions remain widespread.

This is massive for the #nuclear power industry and could usher in a new era of real nuclear growth

It's great to see sentiment improving once again and according to my model, we are entering caution again. There is not a lot of noise yet, despite a solid 32% rally for #uranium stocks, so that's a good sign

That and much more in this week's newsletter report, including two new portfolio positions

Recently I spoke to a uranium industry veteran and someone who has built mines himself and he said the following

"I have no idea where all the pounds we need are going to come from, for the first tike after ~50 years in the business, I simply have no idea"

Prices will go higher

Great jump by uranium equities on positive nuclear related news in the US.

Cameco is leading the way and they could stand to benefit greatly from an AP-1000 buildout program in the country.

The call options we bought on the Codex in Q1 have more than doubled 📈 (link in my bio)
May 6, 2025 at 7:39 PM
When it comes to a #uranium supply response, the proverbial 800 pound gorilla in the room that is Arrow is monitored closely, and rightly so.

But what about all the 150 pound chimps? Smaller projects that are seeing delays and cost overruns. All that is really starting to add up.
May 5, 2025 at 9:52 AM
Cameco storming out of the gates today with #uranium and the call options we bought in Q1 are firmly in the green. There was a lot to cover this week regarding macro and the conference call, so I wrote a 12 page report on it.

It's available for everyone right here ⤵️

After all the macro uncertainty and equity market volatility over the past few months, the term price of #uranium remains unchanged

The long term trajectory remains firmly upward and to the right
May 1, 2025 at 7:33 PM
Cameco wants market related exposure with escalated floors and ceilings, that is a requirement for them. This tells me that Cameco is confident #uranium prices will go higher for longer and that they will not produce a single pound without the right terms

No good terms, no new production.
May 1, 2025 at 12:45 PM
In one of the conference calls last year, we saw Cameco showcase their tier 2 production.

That's not the case in the presentation today and it's clear that the current pricing environment is 'not good enough' for those tier 2 assets. This rings true for other companies as well, which mutes supply.
May 1, 2025 at 12:08 PM
Cameco's Q1 results are here and the conference call will be in an hour. Should make for an interesting conversation

Two years ago, Peninsula Energy secured ~6 million pounds in long-term contracts through 2033. Last year, they signed a deal to deliver 1.2M lbs to an EU utility from 2028–2033.

They are failing to deliver. Producing #uranium is hard and the marginal pound will not be sold until much higher prices.
April 28, 2025 at 10:12 AM
At the WNFC conference, Kazatomprom warned that supply might not be moving fast enough to catch up with rising demand. They specifically noted the depletion of low-cost resources and long lead times for new #uranium mines.

"There may not be enough guaranteed supply for everyone"

Broad market volatility has had an outsized negative effect on risk-on equities, including various commodities such as #uranium

#Gold and #silver have been doing very well however and have carried the Codex portfolio YTD. We had some big winners, including 130% profit on AG calls. Link in bio ⤵️
April 14, 2025 at 7:01 PM
There have been a ton of questions with regards to what is going on with the market (especially given how it affects #uranium equities as well) and what the road ahead may look like. In light of this, I wrote an 11-page analysis that is available for everyone to read:

While the start of the year has been rough for the broad market and #uranium, the portfolio is still holding up well, helped by some big winners like AG calls (up 135% in a month)

A new 40 page report is now ready on the Codex which discusses all that and much more ⤵️

The lowest cost quartile of the #uranium production curve is moving up as Kazatomprom's C1 cash costs and AISC numbers are rising. The era of cheap pounds is over and with Kazatomprom reiterating their 'value over volume' strategy, it's clear that the term price trajectory is firmly up.

There have been a lot of questions as to what is driving the broad equities market right now and while it seems chaotic, there is clear logic to the chaos and with that logic we can prepare for the months ahead. In this 5-page Codex update, I cover it in more detail ⤵️
