Since last week: A recent jobs report may have the Fed hold rates and put more focus on taming inflation.
1. Bond Yield Highs
We’re continuing to see bond yields rise, with the latest action pushing them to 24-year highs.

4. South Korea Nuclear Plants
In exchange for lower tariffs, South Korea has agreed to a deal where it will spend $120 billion in the US to build eight nuclear power plants. The plan will involve some collaboration with Westinghouse Electric, but this kind of investment shows that nuclear power isn’t going anywhere, which means uranium demand isn’t going anywhere.

What to Look For
With the next Fed meeting on the horizon, look to see if rates will hold.
