    • TransmissionGeographic concentration of nuclear builds in Asia tightens long-term natural uranium feedstock and conversion margins for Western power producers.
    • SummaryGlobal electricity demand is forecast to increase 60% by 2045, driving nuclear capacity additions. Of 77 reactors under construction globally, 57 are located in Asia and only 3 in the Americas. Regional supply-demand imbalances highlight long-term commercial power supply bottlenecks in the US.

    Invalidation
    • CCJ closes below pre-catalyst level on rising volume
    • Catalyst narrative is officially walked back or contradicted
    • Cross-asset confirmation (rates / FX / vol) reverses direction
