While President Donald Trump's executive orders have previously ruffled political and ideological feathers, some of them have also positively influenced the financial markets. Case in point is the uranium sector. Last month,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45608637/uranium-mining-stocks-rally-after-trumps-nuclear-revival-order-ignites-industry-optimism"> Trump signed a sweeping executive order</a> aimed at rebuilding America's nuclear energy capacity while also reducing dependency on foreign-sourced uranium. The move marks the biggest federal intervention in nuclear power policy in decades, subsequently reinvigorating uranium producers.
Indeed, the underlying commodity has represented one of the hottest segments in the equities arena recently. For example, Cameco Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) – the world's largest publicly traded uranium company – is up over 29% in the trailing month since June 5. Smaller entities in the space, such as Uranium Energy Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UEC#AMEX">UEC</a>), have also printed double-digit percentage spikes during the aforementioned period.
Both enterprises – along with several other companies – make up the portfolio of Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URNM#NYSE">URNM</a>). Owned and managed by global asset manager Sprott Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SII#NYSE">SII</a>), the exchange-traded fund represents one of the few U.S.-listed ETFs which features dedicated exposure to uranium miners and physical uranium. According to Sprott's overview<a href="https://sprottetfs.com/urnm-sprott-uranium-miners-etf/?gad_campaignid=19660087655"> document</a>, 83.8% of URNM's weighting is centered on uranium and related equities, while the rest is allocated to physical uranium.
Beyond direct and convenient exposure to a rarefied arena, the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF facilitates broad exposure to an often choppy market. While uranium stocks are currently enjoying a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45650179/uranium-stocks-hit-17-year-highs-as-mays-rally-marks-best-month-on-record"> wave of bullish momentum</a> thanks to the aforementioned political catalyst, the sector frequently incurs price volatility due to thin trading volumes,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/commodities/25/06/45795614/uraniums-resurgence-structural-shifts-and-federal-initiative-are-powering-a-long-term-energy-"> lack of transparent spot pricing</a> and sensitivity to news and government policy.
By distributing the risk across multiple names in the sector, investors can gain exposure to uranium while reducing reliance on any one particular entity. Just as importantly, thanks to the fund's underlying diversity, this attribute fosters a more stable and interpretable backdrop for technical analysis.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Utilizing Price Action To Assess The Market Behavior Of The URNM ETF</h2>
At its core,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-you-need-to-know-about-technical-analysis"> technical analysis</a> represents the study of price dynamics in an attempt to improve investing decisions. To be 100% clear, the discipline makes no promises about forward trajectories. What it does provide is context and color, which market participants may utilize to speculate on possible entry and exit points.
As a quick history lesson, the modern practice of technical analysis stems from Dow Theory, an analytical framework developed by Charles Dow. Essentially, one of the biggest concepts that undergirds the technical approach is that price accounts for all known information. So, it's not necessarily that practitioners don't care about the underlying business or industry; rather, they believe that price already discounts the fundamentals.
In fairness, critics often blast technical analysis as a form of mysticism or pseudoscience. But in reality, price action and chart patterns don't presume to natively hold predictive power. Instead, these datapoints provide a visual representation of market activity. From this representation, market technicians approximate what may happen next based on past price behaviors and the cadence of supply and demand.
Currently, momentum for the URNM ETF is robust. In the trailing month, the fund has gained almost 15% of market value. This burst of upside performance has pushed URNM to a year-to-date gain of just over 4%. For context, the benchmark S&amp;P 500 is up less than 1% in the same frame.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="631" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06104310/image-102.png" alt="" class="wp-image-941384" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06104310/image-102.png 1000w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06104310/image-102-300x189.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/06104310/image-102-768x485.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>
What's more, the URNM ETF is currently above two key thresholds: the 200-day moving average (DMA) and the 50 DMA. Investors frequently observe these metrics to better determine the health of a particular market across near-term and longer-term time horizons. These averages can also be used to help determine entry and exit points.
For instance, if a security is struggling to break above a key moving average, the event may indicate bearish resistance, thus incentivizing a cautious take. On the flipside, if a stock blows through a moving average, this may suggest credible momentum.
Regarding the URNM ETF, its price action breached its 50 DMA on April 24 of this year and shot past the 200 DMA on May 23. As of June 5, the uranium fund is more than 4% above its longer-running moving average.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Breadth Adds Statistical Context For The Sprott Uranium Miners ETF</h2>
While technical analysis offers real-time visualizations into current behavior, market breadth – or the study of patterns of accumulation and distribution – delivers empirical insights. It's able to accomplish this because of two key attributes: stationarity and falsifiability.
Generally speaking, public securities incur drift, thanks to a combination of the passage of time and changes in sentiment regimes. As well, administrative factors such as share dilution and buybacks can distort fundamental metrics such as earnings per share. In the case of the URNM ETF, the fund was priced at under $13 when it first launched in December 2019. It's above $40 today, making statistical analyses – such as price clustering – difficult, if not impossible.
However, the tracking of accumulation and distribution represents a discrete, binary construct. As such, these patterns can be categorized and quantified because of their stationarity; that is, a specific demand sequence that appears in 2020 offers relevant insights if the same pattern materializes in 2025. In other words, market breadth facilitates projectable, probabilistic analyses — and these analyses are falsifiable, opening the door to peer review.
In the past two months, the URNM ETF posted five up weeks and five down weeks, with a net positive trajectory across the 10-week period. This "5-5-U" sequence has occurred 32 times since URNM's public market debut. In 62.5% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 2.18%.
As a baseline, the chance that a long position will be profitable in the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF is 51.92%. Therefore, investors may consider a combination of technical analysis and market breadth data to help determine entry and exit strategies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deciphering The Complexities Of The Uranium Market</h2>
The uranium sector has drawn fresh attention amid political momentum and long-term energy security narratives. For investors navigating this complex space, the Sprott ETF offers diversified exposure that tempers the volatility often seen in individual names, creating a more interpretable landscape.
By combining the visual cues of technical analysis with the empirical structure of market breadth data, investors gain a layered understanding of sentiment and behavior. While no method offers certainty, this dual approach frames a more informed perspective for navigating entry and exit decisions.

Uranium Energy Applauds The Sweeping Executive Orders Issued By President Donald J. Trump To Revitalize The U.S. Nuclear Sector And Restore Domestic Control Over The Uranium Fuel Cycle

Uranium- and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">nuclear-themed ETFs</a> spiked sharply Friday after news emerged that the domestic nuclear industry is set to be overhauled with executive orders from President Donald Trump.
Policy-driven optimism sent nuclear-themed ETFs—spanning reactor developers to uranium miners—soaring on a wave of investor interest. With Trump signaling long-term support, this momentum may have staying power.
Global X Uranium ETF Leads The Charge
The Global X Uranium ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URA#NYSE">URA</a>), a key benchmark for uranium stocks, jumped 11% Friday, driven by gains in top uranium miners and component makers. URA led all thematic ETFs for the day.
The North Shore Global Uranium Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URNM#NYSE">URNM</a>) and VanEck Uranium+Nuclear Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NLR#NYSE">NLR</a>) also surged around 9%, as broad momentum lifted nuclear stocks. These funds continue to attract investors seeking diversified, liquid exposure to a sector highly sensitive to policy and geopolitical shifts.

What&#8217;s Driving The Rally
A growing narrative is fueling the rally: nuclear power may gain new policy support. Reuters reports Trump plans to invoke the Defense Production Act to declare a national emergency over U.S. dependence on foreign uranium and fast-track approvals for domestic reactors and infrastructure.
This comes as U.S. electricity demand rises for the first time in 20 years, driven by energy-hungry AI and data centers. With solar and wind constrained by storage and reliability issues, nuclear is gaining traction as a stable alternative.
ETFs Provide Focused Exposure Amid Volatility
While spot uranium miners like Uranium Energy Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UEC#AMEX">UEC</a>), Energy Fuels Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUUU#AMEX">UUUU</a>), and Snow Lake Resources (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITM#NASDAQ">LITM</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/25/05/45587750/uranium-stocks-surge-trumps-nuclear-push-sparks-double-digit-gains">experienced double-digit increases</a>, up 23.7%, 16.0%, and 13.2% respectively, ETF investors enjoyed diversified exposure that lessens single-stock risk. URA, for example, has more than 40 holdings across mining, utility, and nuclear technology names.
In addition to miners, ETFs also picked up on the upside in more advanced nuclear companies such as Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) and Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNE#NASDAQ">NNE</a>), which surged more than 27% each in response to news of Trump&#8217;s policy initiatives. Utility stocks such as Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) and Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) also added to ETF returns.
Investor Implications 
For investors seeking exposure without the volatility of individual stocks, nuclear-themed ETFs offer an attractive alternative. Fund flows could accelerate if executive orders signal a lasting policy shift toward nuclear energy.
These ETFs also benefit from rising institutional demand for clean, reliable power, especially as AI-driven energy needs grow. Analysts note that a sustained rally in uranium prices, driven by supply constraints, could lift uranium-heavy ETFs as well.
Conclusion
Trump's nuclear energy push has reignited interest in a long-overlooked sector. As the political landscape shifts, ETF investors are positioning for a potential long-term energy pivot. Uranium and nuclear ETFs now reflect the intersection of policy, innovation, and surging tech-driven power demand.

Shares of nuclear stocks are trading higher on reports indicating Trump will sign executive orders to ease regulatory requirements for new reactors.

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives highlighted nuclear energy stocks in a note released Friday and pointed to Oklo, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) as the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45583796/nuclear-stocks-oklo-nano-nuclear-constellation-energy-surge-in-friday-pre-market-whats-going-on"> star of the sector.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders as early as Friday to boost the nuclear energy industry by streamlining approvals for new reactors and strengthening fuel supply chains. 
Read Next:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/25/05/45587750/uranium-stocks-surge-trumps-nuclear-push-sparks-double-digit-gains?utm_source=articleShare"> Uranium Stocks Surge: Trump&#8217;s Nuclear Push Sparks Double-Digit Gains</a>&nbsp;
The anticipated executive orders are expected to direct federal agencies to expedite permitting and siting of new nuclear facilities and instruct the Departments of Energy and Defense to identify federal lands and facilities suitable for nuclear deployment, bypassing some of the current Nuclear Regulatory Commission hurdles.
Expert Ideas: Ives pointed to Oklo as a primary beneficiary of Trump's policy changes. It plans to submit a combined license application by the end of 2025 and deploy its first commercial power plant by 2027. Increased federal support and streamlined regulation could accelerate this.
Oklo's business model of building, owning and operating its own reactors while selling power directly to customers under long-term contracts positions it well for recurring revenues and addresses common pain points in nuclear projects, Ives said.&nbsp;
He sees Oklo as "set to be a major player" in the "AI Revolution datacenter buildout."
Wedbush maintained an Outperform rating on Oklo stock and raised its price target from $45 to $55. 
Other Nuclear Stocks: The Wedbush senior analyst also highlighted other companies likely to benefit from the executive orders including nuclear energy stocks such as NuScale Power Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMR#NYSE">SMR</a>), Lightbridge Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTBR#NASDAQ">LTBR</a>) and Centrus Energy Corp.

Frontline, Merus, Intuit And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Friday

Uranium stocks surged Friday morning as investors digested reports that President Donald Trump will sign a series of executive orders aimed at revitalizing the nuclear energy sector. Here's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45583796/nuclear-stocks-oklo-nano-nuclear-constellation-energy-surge-in-friday-pre-market-whats-going-on"> what to know.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: President Trump is expected to invoke the Defense Production Act to declare a national emergency over U.S. reliance on foreign uranium supplies and direct federal agencies to accelerate nuclear project development.&nbsp;
Trump's anticipated executive actions come as the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and data centers has driven a significant rise in the demand for power.&nbsp;

Nuclear Fuel: Uranium fuels nuclear power by serving as the primary material for nuclear fission inside a reactor and larger quantities would be needed if nuclear power generators were to expand. 
A revitalization of nuclear power would be highly positive for the uranium sector, with investors betting on increased demand and higher uranium prices in the coming years.&nbsp;
Uranium miner stocks, including Energy Fuels Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUUU#AMEX">UUUU</a>), Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITM#NASDAQ">LITM</a>), and Uranium Energy Corp. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UEC#AMEX">UEC</a>), blasted higher Friday morning as investors anticipated the White House&#8217;s announcement on nuclear power expansion.  
The Global X Uranium ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URA#NYSE">URA</a>), tracking a market-cap-weighted index of companies involved in uranium mining and the production of nuclear components, climbed more than 6%. 
Nuclear utility stocks and technology developers also benefited, with companies like Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>), Oklo, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) and Nano Nuclear Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNE#NASDAQ">NNE</a>) all posting notable increases.

Uranium Stocks Surge: Trump's Nuclear Push Sparks Double-Digit Gains

&nbsp;Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UEC#NYSE">UEC</a>), (the "Company" or "UEC") and Radiant Industries Incorporated ("Radiant") are pleased to announce a memorandum of understanding ("MOU") where UEC and Radiant have agreed to collaborate on opportunities to advance the shared vision of deploying nuclear energy and building the full nuclear value chain in the United States.
As part of this collaboration, UEC and Radiant are pleased to announce the completion of an initial transaction where UEC will supply U.S. origin uranium concentrates to Radiant at mutually agreed terms.
Microreactors represent an important innovation in nuclear energy at a time when energy security and advancing small modular reactors are of utmost importance to the White House. The growth of nuclear energy in the United States requires a secure, domestic fuel supply chain. The first step in that chain is uranium, and UEC's Wyoming and Texas operations offer a highly reliable source of U.S.-origin supply — a strategic fit to support Radiant's Kaleidos Portable Nuclear Microreactor.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
