June 22 (Bloomberg) -- Uranium rose to the highest in seven months as energy commodities gained globally and utilities sought to acquire stakes in companies mining the metal.
Uranium-oxide concentrate for immediate delivery added $3, or 5.8 percent, to $55 a pound, Denver-based pricing service TradeTech LLC said in a report dated June 19. Nine transactions totaling 1.9 million pounds in volume took place last week.
"Uranium has moved up in line with energy commodities" over the last two months, said Glyn Lawcock, head of resources research at UBS AG in Sydney. "The price got beaten up earlier this year because people needed to generate cash, but things have calmed down."
