In case you missed it... European gas price falls to pre-energy crisis level

Strong imports of liquefied natural gas, warm weather and demand reduction as a result of high prices in recent years have all helped keep gas stored in the EU’s underground storage facilities at historically high levels during this winter, putting pressure on prices. The price of Title Transfer Facility (TTF), the European benchmark, fell to as low as €22.53 per megawatt hour on Friday, the lowest since May 2021, on course for a third consecutive weekly decline.

It has been our thesis for a while that a big uranium SHORTAGE is coming in this decade

Uranium miners are likely to benefit from this trend and have been enjoying a strong run up over the last few months. Yet uranium miners ($URA $etf) have been diverging from Uranium spot price recently. One fundamental explanation for this is that the Uranium "large caps" which are over-represented in the URA ETF have long-term contracts which means there are not benefiting to a full extent from recent Uranium spot price.
