The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) fell 0.97 percent last week, finishing at 19,546.5.

Huhn explained that entities like the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (TSX:U.U,OTCQX:SRUUF) have cleaned up aboveground mobile inventories, placing the industry at an inflection point. He sees a "supply black hole" emerging in the mid-term, which could have major consequences for prices and equities moving forward.
