As could be expected, industry consultant Ux Consulting has cut its weekly U3O8 spot price indicator by US$10 to US$75/lb this week. Earlier TradeTech, the other industry consultant with its own weekly spot price indicator, cut its spot price to US$75/lb from US$85/lb the previous week.
Both consultants had flagged last month that spot uranium prices may fall further as the outcome from a large public auction by the US Department of Energy (DOE) was unlikely to attract aggressive bidding. The DOE announced the outcome of its auction on Friday.
