据世界核能委员会预测,未来10年,全球铀需求预计将增长48%。而此前市场观察家也预测,2014年全球对天然铀的需求有望出现反弹。随着新反应堆的投产以及日本核电站有望重启,未来几年铀价将回升。目前世界核电的发展与天然铀需求似乎有些背道而弛,尤其是持续走低的铀价格使得天然铀市场处于波动期。价格的起伏波动也带来了铀矿企业的观望,让新的铀矿项目开发望而却步。而由于铀价下跌,一些企业也叫停了铀矿扩产项目。但近两年来铀矿勘探活动的增加似乎也正在释放着国际铀矿市场恢复的信号。
According to the forecast by the World Commission on Nuclear Energy, global uranium demand is expected to increase by 48% over the next 10 years. Previous observers also predicted that global demand for natural uranium would rebound in 2014. With the commissioning of new reactors and the expected restart of Japanese nuclear power plants, uranium prices will rebound in the coming years. At present, the development of nuclear power in the world seems to be somewhat backward with the demand of natural uranium. In particular, the continued decline of uranium prices makes the natural uranium market in a volatile period. Fluctuations in prices have also brought uranium mining companies wait and see, so that the new uranium project development prohibitive. As uranium prices fell, some companies also halted uranium expansion project. However, the increase in uranium exploration activities in the last two years seems to be signaling the resumption of the international uranium market.
