As the uranium prices continue to rally, Morgan Stanley expects inventories to diminish and prices to trend higher
-Morgan Stanley forecasts US$48/lb by 2024.
-Disposal of uranium waste deemed safe
-Spot uranium price climbs nearly 13% in March
The pandemic has been a greater disruption to uranium supply than to demand, with nuclear power proving to be very resilient in most markets. Nonetheless, sales from inventories have capped price upside. As inventories diminish, Morgan Stanley expects the uranium price to trend higher.
Increased contracting activity in the enrichment market could be the start of a new long-term uranium contracting cycle. While global nuclear power capacity fell -2.7GW in 2020, Morgan Stanley sees a net 8GW increase in 2021 as new plants come online in China, other Asia and Eastern Europe.

An expert group report has recommended to the Government the use of rapid testing for Covid-19.
The report suggests that tests such as lateral flow antigen tests (LFAT) should compliment existing national polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing programmes.
It recommends widespread pilots, or feasibility studies, of rapid tests across various sectors and industries, including business, sports and education.
The report calls for immediate focus to be placed on establishing an agile rapid test knowledge group, which would enable information on validated tests and sampling to be widely shared across Government departments, agencies and sectors.
