Sarasota, FL (PRWeb) January 12, 2007 -- Will spot uranium's momentous price rise stall in 2007, or 'hiccup' as StockInterview's Senior Editor James Finch writes? He cautions investors to consider the risks of Russian-enriched uranium and speculative carrying costs during the race for $100/pound uranium."There should be fireworks through 2007 as the uranium price approaches and probably crosses the $100/pound threshold, perhaps as early as late spring," StockInterview Senior Editor James Finch wrote. But, Finch also advised there may not be as much upside left to the uranium price. Finch warned of new Russian-enriched uranium supplying panicked U.S. utilities with nuclear fuel, "The hiccup in uranium's price rise could come with the U.S. Commerce Department settlement with Russia 's Tekhsnabexport."
Finch also cautioned of the large quantity of physical uranium that speculators have been hoarding. According to Treva Klingbiel, editor of TradeTech's Nuclear Market Review, which first publishes the weekly spot uranium price on Fridays, "Speculators are holding about 24 million pounds of U3O8 equivalent."
Finch warned speculators may need to unload the quantity of uranium which they accumulated before and during the near doubling of the spot uranium price during 2006. Finch wrote, "The loan rate for uranium has also jumped since the year 2000. According to TradeTech's Loan Rate for uranium purchases the carrying cost is the highest since September 1978. It is one-half-percent lower than the peak months of 1974." http://www.uranium.info/prices/loanrate.html
