RE:TradeTech: Utilities looking to buy 20M lbs on U Term MarketThanks again Quakes, your just "Chuck Full of Knowledge", and I for one greatly appreceiate your work and links. I've been a precious mineral follower since the early 80's, but wanted a Uranium play...
Last year at PDAC, I found and bought FCU($1.15), only held it for a week, but have bought back in at a greatly reduced prices and will continue to add to my position...
Thanks again for the education and links as Uranium is quiet different than Gold/Silver....

Interest in the term market remains evident but not rushed. Two transactions were reported in the term markets last week but only to the tune of around 1mlbs. Meanwhile, two utilities are continuing to evaluate offers for delivery of almost 20mlbs in total across mid and longer term timeframes.
As to whether the settlement of these offers can prove market-moving is yet to be seen. Meanwhile, TradeTech’s term market price indicators remain unchanged at US$36.50/lb (mid) and US$44.00/lb (long).
The Long Term Market price is the most important one, and has remained unchanged for many months now according to the U price tables on Cameco's website:
