Uranium stocks ETF $URA is up +11% last week and +16% for the month, outpacing all other sectors.

Shares in nuclear energy companies surged to record highs last week after Amazon and Google struck landmark power supply deals, boosting efforts to deploy the first small modular reactors (SMRs) in the US. The share prices of US-listed SMR developers Oklo Inc and NuScale power rose by 99% and 36% respectively in the past week, after rivals X-energy and Kairos Power, two private SMR developers, announced the financing agreements. Shares in Cameco, Oklo, NuScale, Constellation and BWX Technologies all traded at record highs over the week. Source: FT

Despite silver prices being close to their highest levels in 13 years, the production from the world's two largest producers of the metal has barely changed.

Silver production is still at the SAME level it was back in 2010. This clearly reflects how constrained new supply remains. According to Tavi Costa, this is likely to continue given the limited capital being invested in developing new mines. Source. Bloomberg, Crescat Capital
