Will These Uranium Stocks Keep Gaining In The Market?
One big sector of the market at the moment is Uranium. It’s already a huge industry with mines all over the world. But Uranium is also an industry that has been impacted by COVID-19 as well. COVID caused Uranium stocks to reach levels they had not seen since the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan. That event shut down major supply sources. Yet this recent uptick was not caused by changing uranium prices or government related things. One analyst believes that there is a uranium short squeeze happening by Reddit traders. The analysts, Greg Barnes of TD Securities, stated that on February 1st a subreddit named r/UraniumSqueeze was created.
A few days later, the page had more than 686 members. Now the group has reached more than 3,000 members. Uranium investors are unsure how much these retail investors are affecting the price of the energy. It seems like retail investors might be a new trend that is here to stay. A partner at Segra Capital Management, Arthur Hyde, said that retail could’ve been a part of it, there was “also real capital moving into the market and taking a position in a market that’s roughly thin and illiquid.”
The GameStop situation showed people involved in uranium that crowdsourced support can make a big impact on any type of asset. Regardless of the reason for uranium’s recent gains, it is clear that this has created plenty of uranium stocks to watch at the moment. Many uranium stocks are at or near all time or one year highs at the moment. Let’s take a look at four uranium stocks that have been trending in the market throughout 2021 so far.

It included $75 million for initial funding of the 10 year U.S. Uranium Reserve. It also saw a legislative backstop for newly extended Russian uranium import limits.
