ChatGPT unleashed a need for reliable power to electricity-hungry data centres. Recent results were mixed, but noteworthy was Westinghouse filing confidential IPO application. That should be huge, and CCO will benefit as 50% owner. Uranium supply/demand should get much tighter; demand will grow, and governments are investing in nuclear.

Modular reactors will become reality over the next 10 years.
Spot market is what people look at every single day, and that's where you see the gyrations in uranium prices. Right now, ~$65/pound. Term market is where most of the long-term contracting gets done, such as by utilities; and that one's been fairly steady.
