Trade Ideas
Uranium bull call spread for transition.
Long-term energy security transition toward nuclear power and the uranium fuel cycle will gain traction. A bull call spread on URA (Global X Uranium ETF) provides asymmetric risk-reward with defined downside risk and 3.5:1 upside if the theme continues to reprice.
Buy oil dips for tight market.
Oil markets will remain tight due to the Strait of Hormuz closure and the need for inventory replenishment. The recent weakness driven by optimism on a resolution is a buying opportunity, with crude likely to trade back toward $100+.
