Uranium Profile

A metal with no futures exchange, almost no public spot market, and a price that utilities negotiate quietly, years in advance — nothing else tracked on this site is bought quite this way.

Utilities Buy It Quietly, Years in Advance
Nuclear utilities have historically bought uranium through confidential, long-term bilateral contracts negotiated directly with miners rather than an open spot market — the volume that trades visibly enough to build a public exchange around has always stayed relatively small, which is why this metal is priced via benchmark assessments (UxC, TradeTech) instead.
Canada's Athabasca Basin
Canada's Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan hosts some of the highest-grade uranium deposits on Earth, run largely by Cameco — a genuinely major global producer among this site's 22 tracked countries, even as Kazakhstan (not tracked here) supplies a larger overall share of world output.
The Price Here Isn't the Reactor's Fuel Cost
The uranium price tracked on this page is for natural, unenriched U3O8 ("yellowcake") — not the finished reactor fuel. Turning it into usable fuel means converting it to uranium hexafluoride gas and then enriching it, raising the fraction of fissile U-235 from natural uranium's roughly 0.7% up to the 3–5% a reactor needs, at specialist enrichment plants that charge separately for that service in their own unit, the separative work unit (SWU). The uranium price shown here is only one part — not the whole — of what a utility actually spends to fuel a reactor.
Did You Know?
A single mid-sized uranium trade — a few hundred thousand pounds of U3O8 — can be large enough relative to the thin spot market to visibly move the weekly published price, something that would barely register as a rounding error in COMEX gold.

Uranium's buyers are almost exclusively nuclear power utilities, purchasing under long-term contracts to fuel reactors — there's essentially no jewellery, industrial-alloy or consumer demand acting as a second buyer base the way there is for most other metals here.
Among the countries tracked on this site, Canada are notable producers, while USA, China, Japan, South Korea, United Kingdom are among the largest consumers.
Uranium is tracked on UxC / TradeTech — see each exchange's market profile for how it actually works.
