URÁN – je býčí trh pred koncom?
Pred rokom v tomto čase analytici predpovedali uránu dosiahnutie až US$200.
Around this time last year, optimists were anticipating that the spot uranium price would march on to US$200 per pound.
But that bullish run seems to be over as prices fall, sparking speculation that they are likely to plunge further in the face of waning buyers' interest and a looming oversupply of the metal.
In late June last year, uranium spot prices hit the highs at US$136 per pound, from a low of US$7/lb in 2000, bolstered by a tight market and speculative buying. Currently, the prices are down by slightly over 37% from June 2007 spot prices, sending quivers throughout the markets.
Last week, two uranium producers reported record production for 2007. A number of uranium projects are expected either to come on line this year or increase uranium production, raising fears of an over supply that is likely to cap the prices into 2009.
