U.S.-listed companies linked to the uranium market (mining, processing) are trading up in the 4 to 6% range today. U.S. energy giant Constellation Energy (CEG.US) announced plans to restart Unit 1 at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant by 2028 to ensure a sustainable, predictable energy supply for Microsoft's (MSFT.US) data centers (powering AI, among other things). Constellation Energy (CEG.US) shares are climbing to new historic highs today, trading up more than 20%. 

Shares of Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC.US) are trading up more than 4%, Centrus Energy, which specializes in the production of nuclear fuel for the U.S. market, are rebounding 5%, and the world's second-largest uranium miner after Kazatomprom (KAP.UK) Cameco (CCJ.US) are trading up more than 8%. As we can see below, UEC's shares have broken above the SMA50 and approached the upper boundary of the downtrend channel. A breakout above $6 (38.2 Fibo retracement, escaping the price channel) could herald a change in trend.
