### Commentary
The uranium sector experienced significant swings in sentiment in March, largely due to the escalating US-led trade war and the imposition of new tariffs on Canada and Mexico. The sector’s underlying commodity price, however, remained stable, with the U3O8 (uranium) spot price ending the month at $64.25/lb. Despite the ongoing uncertainty, the company’s NAV declined 18.5% over the month, largely due to the decline in the value of its uranium mining assets. However, the company’s portfolio managers remain optimistic about the sector’s potential for growth and have identified several opportunities for investors to gain exposure. ### Uranium Sector Update
The uranium sector was affected by the recent developments in the US-led trade war, which led to a decline in investor sentiment. However, the company’s portfolio managers believe that the sector has long-term potential for growth, driven by global ambitions to triple nuclear generating capacity. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission announced that Nexgen’s public hearings for the final decision on the development of the Rook I project will take place later in the year. While this may have impacted the company’s share price, the portfolio managers believe that the project has significant scope to grow resources and maintain market tightness in the uranium market. ### Global Ambitions for Nuclear Energy
The global ambitions to triple nuclear generating capacity over the next decade are expected to drive demand for uranium. However, the limited supply growth in the sector is expected to maintain market tightness, supporting the term contract price. Utilities in established western markets, which generate some 20% of their electricity from nuclear power, are approaching very low levels of inventory. This means that they will be required to undertake another round of contracting to avoid material consequences to electricity availability in the near-term. ### Leverage
The company’s leverage ratio was 23.42% at the end of March, indicating that the company has significant debt. However, the portfolio managers believe that the company’s assets are sufficient to cover its liabilities and maintain a stable financial position. ### Conclusion
The Geiger Counter Limited fund has experienced significant volatility in recent months, largely due to the decline in the value of its uranium mining assets. With the global ambitions to triple nuclear generating capacity driving demand for uranium, the company’s NAV is expected to recover in the long term. As a result, investors can expect a potential for capital growth and a lower risk through investment in Geiger Counter Limited.
