- Spot uranium prices remain around $90 amid constrained supply and growing reactor demand, while analysts are raising uranium forecasts.
- The outlook supports producers and nuclear-fuel equities; the broader risk-on open, easing bond yields and reduced immediate oil-supply pressure are helping cyclical and commodity-related equities.
