On Tuesday, Defiance ETFs stepped into the uranium market with the launch of the Defiance Daily Target 2x Long Uranium ETF (URAX). The actively managed URAX comes with a net expense ratio of 0.95%.
Record high mentions of "AI" on corporate conference calls during the first quarter earnings season buttress increasing data-center power demand. I am upgrading the Global X Uranium ETF from a hold to a buy due to bullish momentum developments and potential long-term growth in uranium and nuclear power sources. URA is a concentrated bet on the energy sector with a high allocation to uranium and nuclear companies and the fund has shown positive technical trends.
Exchange-traded funds that track uranium-related stocks have skyrocketed this year, with prices for the heavy metal widely used for nuclear-power generation hovering around its highest level in 16 years, buoyed by tight supplies and expectations for rising demand.
