Data as of 26 June 2026. Prices are quoted as multi-year and full-year averages, not a single day’s snapshot, so this report stays useful over time. Reserves, production splits, balances, and historical series are estimates from agency data, rounded for clarity. This report is for information only and was prepared with AI assistance — see the disclaimer at the end.

Uranium is the most energy-dense fuel humanity uses — a single pellet the size of a fingertip holds the energy of a tonne of coal — and after a decade in the wilderness it has become one of the most talked-about commodities of the energy transition. In 2024 the spot price touched a 16-year high above $100/lb as a reactor build-out led by China collided with a mine-supply base that still cannot meet demand. This report is the free, big-picture primer on how the uranium market actually works — where it comes from, how the nuclear fuel cycle turns ore into reactor fuel, how its price is set, and which forces drive it.
