Uranium stocks experienced a sector-wide rally last Friday, led by names like Deep Yellow (+12.8%), Boss Energy (+7.9%) and Paladin Energy (+7.0%). The key catalyst was a production downgrade from the world's largest uranium producer, Kazakhstan's Kazatomprom.
As they flagged earlier this year, the company's 2024 guidance was cut around 9 million pounds in an already constrained global market of approximately 180 million pounds.
Uranium prices rallied to US$107/lb and most uranium equities rallied around 3-10%.
