Is there a free live uranium spot price chart?
Not really. Uranium is traded over the counter between producers, traders, funds and utilities, and the daily spot price is a proprietary assessment. Free sources are the month-end indicators (used in the chart on this page), the CME/COMEX UxC uranium futures (symbol UX, shown on TradingView as COMEX:UX1! but not embeddable on third-party sites) and the live share price and NAV of physical uranium funds such as SPUT.
Why is uranium priced per pound of U3O8?
Mines sell uranium as concentrate (“yellowcake”) that is converted to the oxide U3O8, and the industry quotes it in US dollars per pound of U3O8. One kilogram of uranium metal equivalent (kgU) corresponds to about 2.6 lb of U3O8. See our price per pound, kilogram and gram converter.
What is the difference between the spot and long-term uranium price?
The spot price is for delivery within about a year and reacts quickly to fund buying and trader activity. The long-term (term) price is the base price in multi-year supply contracts between producers and utilities, which cover most of the uranium actually delivered.

What was the highest uranium price ever?
On a month-end basis the record is $136.00/lb in June 2007, after flooding at Canada’s Cigar Lake mine and heavy speculative buying. The most recent peak was $100.25/lb at the end of January 2024; the spot price also briefly traded above $100 in January 2026. Full data on the uranium price history page.
