Trump Greenlights Saudi Nuclear Deal, Uranium Enrichment In The Kingdom Possible
President Trump has formally approved a landmark 30-year civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia that could be worth tens of billions of dollars and put American companies at the center of the kingdom's nuclear buildout, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The accord is expected to be signed Wednesday by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, then head to Congress for a 90-day review. Lawmakers could block it through a joint resolution, but overriding a Trump veto would require two-thirds majorities in both chambers.
There is plenty to like here. A Section 123 agreement creates a legal framework for peaceful use, safeguards, and nonproliferation. American involvement also gives Washington more influence over Riyadh's program than it would have if Saudi Arabia turned to China or Russia.
The agreement is the latest step in a rapidly deepening relatio...

Kupfer: Hohe Prämie für Chinas Kupferimporte, aber robuste Produktion (SG)
|
|
|
Die Prämie auf Kupferimporte im chinesischen Hafen von Yangshan hat in den letzten Monaten kräftig angezogen: Sie beläuft sich laut der Researchgruppe Shanghai Metals Market aktuell auf gut 100 USD; im Januar hatte sie lediglich bei 20 USD gelegen. Das ist in der Regel ein Hinweis auf eine starke Kupfernachfrage in China. Zur Knappheit trägt aber momentan auch bei, dass das Angebot an Kupferschrott in China aufgrund neuer Steuerregelungen gering sei. Derweil waren die chinesischen Produktionszahlen für Kupfer abermals gut: Im Juni wurden laut Statistikbehörde 1,334 Mio. Tonnen Kupferraffinade produziert, 4,4% mehr als im Vorjahr und etwas mehr als im bisherigen Rekordhoch. Hohe Preise für die als Nebenprodukt entstehende Schwefelsäure kompensieren offensichtlich für negative Verarbeitungsmargen..

ASP Isotopes Targets America's Uranium Conversion Chokepoint
ASP Isotopes announced Tuesday that its Quantum Leap Energy subsidiary signed a research agreement with the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station to advance and de-risk the commercial production of uranium hexafluoride, or UF6.
The work will focus on gathering data on the reactions used to convert uranium concentrate (yellowcake or U3O8) into UF6. The research is intended to support process design, modeling, scale-up, cost reductions, and the eventual commercialization of QLE's conversion technology.
This is the unglamorous but essential middle of the nuclear fuel chain. Uranium miners can produce all the yellowcake they want, but commercial enrichment facilities cannot use it until it has been converted into UF6. The US currently has only one operating commercial conversion facility, ConverDyn's Metropolis Works plant in Illinois, while the World Nuclear Association counted only four conversion suppliers globally as of 2025.
