Commodities

And Uranium Drops A Bit More
FNArena News - April 17 2008

By Rudi Filapek-Vandyck

Long term prospects and short term supply-demand characteristics in the uranium market continue to clash with market watchers and researchers clinging on to a continuously bullish outlook for the commodity, only to see the spot price move into the opposite direction.

Industry consultant Ux Consulting decided to slice off US$3 from its weekly spot price indicator, hot on the heels of a similar move by peer TradeTech who earlier lowered its own weekly price indicator by US$2 to US$69/lb. UxC's spot price is now US$1 below TradeTech's, which may indicate the trend is still for lower prices.

The longer term price indicator has remained unchanged at both consultancies, at US$95/lb. Also, both consultants have now effectively cut their prices by 50% from last year's peak. TradeTech's spot price has fallen from US$138 to US$69/lb and UxC's from US$136 to US$68/lb.



Our archive tells no lies. FNArena warned its readers well before the price of crude oil peaked in 2008 the speculator bubble would deflate with devastating consequences for those holding oil company shares. In August we warned the most severe correction in modern history was forthcoming for natural resources. In 2007 we warned the problem with US subprime mortgages would prove much bigger than experts and media were anticipating (among other things).
