    Will we soon see a price rally in uranium? That is certainly what Cameco's President & COO expects. In an interview, he expressed extreme optimism about the uranium market and three-digit prices. While the spot market remains at around USD 87 per pound, long-term contracts are already being paid at USD 120. The key driver behind these price increases is growing concern over supply security. The structural supply deficit is precisely the reason for investing in uranium explorers. An interesting candidate is American Atomics. The company is pursuing a strategy of vertical integration in the uranium value chain in North America. Most recently, it reported significant progress on the Blue Streak project in the US state of Colorado. The booming AI industry cannot wait for new nuclear power plants. German company 2G Energy is also benefiting from this trend. However, the stock has declined in recent days. At the same time, analysts have significantly raised their price targets for the company.
