Demand Seasonality affecting Ur-Energy, Inc.’s stock price
The demand for uranium concentrate (U3O8) is generally considered to be "perfectly inelastic" for reactor operations. The uranium market has shifted from an oversupply period to a structural deficit since 2018, with demand increasing due to global nuclear capacity expansion. Forecasts project a significant increase in nuclear capacity by 2040, driving a substantial rise in uranium demand. There is no specific information indicating seasonal fluctuations in the demand for Ur-Energy's uranium products.
