Matt Geiger: A Long Term View is Needed for Uranium

Matt is mixed about where we are in the market cycle. We can all agree that we have been through a devastating bear market which was long and relentless. We entered a new bull market in January 2016, and we had an impressive nine months where juniors of all types saw significant share prices increases. 2017 felt like a continuation of the new bull market, but 2018 felt very much like the bear market was back.

Are we in a new bear market or has a bull market started again? It seems the jury is still out. So far in 2019, there have been some performance from the commodity metals. His fund is doing well so far this year but the next 90 days will determine if we are in a bull market.

He believes that the world at large is undervaluing our finite resources. Over the coming decades, this should be a brilliant place to be.

He feels that the Commerce Departments Section 232 investigation into uranium should arrive on Trump’s desk by April 14th. They will provide Trump with a recommendation on whether the U.S. should impose tariffs or quotas on uranium. Currently, the U.S. supplies only two percent of its domestic reactor uranium demand.

Tariffs should have a minimal effect on energy prices as uranium is a fractional component of the all in costs of operating a reactor. A tariff seems more likely under Trump, but a quota would be the best case scenario. We should see utilities both domestic and foreign come back for contracts once Trump makes his decision.
