The COMEX UxC Uranium U3O8 futures contract
| Exchange | COMEX (CME Group) |
|---|---|
| Contract code | UX (TradingView: COMEX:UX1! front month) |
| Contract size | 250 lb U3O8 |
| Price quotation | US dollars and cents per pound |
| Minimum tick | $0.05/lb (= $12.50 per contract) |
| Settlement | Financial (cash) settlement — no physical delivery |
| Final settlement price | Average of the weekly U3O8 spot prices published by UxC in Ux Weekly during the contract month (method used since the October 2024 contract month) |
| Last trading day | Last Monday of the contract month that is a business day (otherwise the prior business day) |
| Listed months | Monthly contracts extending several years forward |
A futures position is a bet on where UxC’s spot assessment will average in the delivery month. Because the contract is cash-settled, it lets traders and producers hedge without moving physical pounds — but open interest is small compared with physical spot volumes, and many contract months trade rarely.
