🔴 Uranium and Nuclear Technologies ETF (NUKL.DE) is trading 4.5% down today as Treasury yields rise

NUKL.DE is trading at €46.16, down 4.52% on August 18, 2026, amid a sector-wide nuclear-equity selloff and rising Treasury yields.

• Its decline closely matches the 4.57% drop in the broader Nuclear Energy Index.
• The move appears sector-wide rather than uranium-specific: uranium spot prices were slightly higher, while nuclear and small-reactor equities weakened.
• Rising Treasury yields, higher oil prices and escalating U.S.-Iran tensions are intensifying risk aversion and pressuring rate-sensitive growth and infrastructure stocks.
