Deep Yellow Ltd (DYL.AU) saw its stock price soar by 6.37% in Tuesday's trading session, as Australian uranium miners experienced a significant uptick amid positive market sentiment. The rally comes as Citi analysts predict an acceleration in uranium prices, boosting investor confidence in the sector.
The surge in Deep Yellow's stock is part of a broader trend among Australian uranium miners, with peers like Paladin Energy (PDN.AX) and Boss Energy (BOE.AX) also posting gains. This movement is largely attributed to Sprott Physical Uranium Trust's (SPUT) announcement of an upsized financing deal worth $200 million, signaling strong institutional interest in the uranium market.
Citi's report highlights that spot prices for triuranium octoxide (U3O8) are currently at $76 per pound, with some market participants reporting asks as high as $79 per pound. Analysts believe this price momentum will attract more utilities to the market, potentially driving uranium prices even higher. Year-to-date, Deep Yellow has shown impressive performance, with its stock up 45.1%, outpacing the broader market and reflecting growing investor optimism in the uranium sector.
