Hedge funds snap up uranium in bet on green energy shift

This year nuclear fuel has risen in price to its highest level since 2012

After years of stagnant prices, a 37 per cent rally in prices for nuclear fuel uranium has helped attract investors back to the sector.

Funds such as Ben Melkman’s New York-based Light Sky Macro, Anchorage Capital and Tribeca Investment Partners have been positive on the outlook for the raw material, as a global energy crunch highlights the role of nuclear power in a transition away from fossil fuels.

The price of raw uranium, known as yellowcake, rose to its highest level since 2012 at $50 a pound last month. The move has attracted new investors into the market for the first time since before the financial crisis, when buying by investors drove the price from $20 a pound to a record high of $136 a pound in June 2007.
