Since then, prices have contracted, but remain historically high. Geopolitical tensions and trade concerns weighed on uranium prices in early 2025, pushing values below US$65 per pound for the first time since 2023.

Now on the rebound spot U3O8 prices are holding at the US$70 level.

Trump Admin Fast Tracks Anfield’s Velvet-Wood Uranium Project in Push for US Energy Independence

The US Department of the Interior announced on Monday (May 12) that it will fast track environmental permitting for Anfield Energy’s (TSXV:AEC,OTCQB:ANLDF) Velvet-Wood uranium project in Utah

The decision slashes what would typically be a years-long review process down to just 14 days, and makes Velvet-Wood the first uranium project to be expedited under a January 20 statement from President Donald Trump. In it, he declares a national energy emergency and emphasizes the importance of restoring American energy independence.

This week's decision signals what Anfield calls “a decisive shift in federal support for domestic nuclear fuel supply.”

Investing in Uranium ETFs: 9 Options for Uranium Exposure

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are one of the fastest-growing investment vehicles, and as uranium's role in the energy transition grows, investors are becoming increasingly interested in uranium ETFs and related products.

After years of dormancy, the uranium spot price zoomed past the US$100 per pound level in early 2024 on supply risks and a strong outlook for long-term demand. Although it's since pulled back, bulls believe it still has room to run.

Supporting factors include the lack of new uranium mines, Russia’s dominance in conversion and enrichment, rising demand for low-carbon energy sources and the continued development and deployment of small modular reactors.
