Will uranium spot price average above $75/lb for FY2026?
Current Prediction
Why This Question Matters
Uranium spot price is the key sentiment indicator. Spot retreated from $100+ to $60-70, signaling narrative cooling. If spot recovers above $75, it re-validates the nuclear renaissance pricing.
Prediction Distribution
Individual Predictions(9 runs)
Uranium spot has retreated from $100+ to $60-70 range. For the annual average to exceed $75, spot needs to recover and sustain above $75 for most of the remaining year. The retreat signals speculative unwind. Structural fundamentals support long-term prices but the near-term trajectory is downward. Below coin-flip.
The Q1 average was likely in the $65-70 range. For the annual average to reach $75, the remaining 9 months would need to average ~$77+. This requires a price recovery from current levels. Supply discipline from Kazatomprom (acid shortages) and Cameco (withheld capacity) supports a floor, but $75+ requires demand catalysts. Around 40%.
The Russia import ban and utility contracting cycle provide structural support. A new wave of utility buying could push spot above $75. But the speculative retreat suggests the market is repricing from the narrative peak. The annual average framework requires sustained recovery. Around 42%.
Spot at $60-70 with $75 target requires meaningful recovery. Structural demand is real but long-dated. Near-term sentiment is negative. Below coin-flip.
Kazatomprom supply issues and Russia ban could tighten the physical market. But financial selling may dominate near-term. Around 43%.
The probability reflects that spot recovery to $75+ average is possible but requires catalysts that haven't yet materialized. Around 42%.
Spot retreat makes $75 average challenging. Supply discipline helps but not enough. Below coin-flip.
Q1 average likely in $65-70. Need significant recovery for $75 annual average. Below 40%.
Structural fundamentals support but near-term sentiment is negative. Below coin-flip.
