Uranium complex rallies on Russia limiting exports to the US
Our view: Uranium equities and the spot price rallied this past week on news of Russia temporarily banning enriched uranium exports to the US (details here). Russia accounts for ~40% of global enrichment, ~15-20% of imports to the US and ~25% in Europe. EUP shipments from Russia must now receive a license in Russia as well as a waiver from the US DOE to approve the transfer. Supply bifurcation was further highlighted with Niger's military junta inviting Russia to invest in its uranium mining sector. Centrus confirmed in an 8-K filed Monday that the Russian government has rescinded the export license of Russian uranium supplier Tenex through December 31, 2025, requiring Tenex to obtain export licenses to meet scheduled deliveries. On US domestic nuclear policy, President-elect Trump reportedly selected Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, to head up the US DOE. Wright has previously supported expanding nuclear energy in the US and serves on the Board of Directors for Oklo (advanced SMR developer).
