                                              Nuclear power currently provides about 13.5% percent of the world's electricity. OECD countries take about a quarter of this share, whereas developing countries account for much lower demand. Ever since the devastating Tsunami and earthquake struck Japan in March 2011 and shut down the atomic power plant in Fukushima, the uranium industry has been in a continuous decline. Governments from Tokyo to Berlin have cut short their dependence on nuclear energy, which has resulted in a sharp decline in uranium spot prices. Uranium spot prices are percent from pre-Fukushima price of $69.63. However, we believe that most of the impact of the Japanese disaster has already been priced in. Major export economies, such as Japan,Cheap Ugg Boots, have energy intensive industries. Therefore, they cannot shift away from nuclear energy overnight. We believe the long-term outlook of the industry remains favorable, especially because energy starved countries like India, China, Saudi Arabia, and UAE have reactors under production. Oil rich countries such as Saudi Arabia are building reactors, which is a clear message that nuclear energy is here to stay. Cameco Corporation, one of the giants of the Uranium Industry, reported a 50 per cent decline in quarterly earnings y/y. CCJ has also cut its long-term production goals by 10 percent due to a in net new reactors being built. The pace of the development work of the company's projects in Canada,uggs on sale, Kazakhstan, and Australia, has also been decreased until an improvement in demand is observed. However, slow but continued work at these projects will enable the company to respond quickly to demand improvements. We have a neutral rating on the Uranium Industry in the short term and we believe prices will fall further before they stabilize and demand returns. Demand largely depends on positive sentiment across the globe from fuel buyers, and on the Japanese nuclear restart. However,ugg boots sale, we have a bullish stance on CCJ in the long term as we believe that when the market rebounds, CCJ will be the first stock to benefit,ugg boots.
