Uranium Energy's 8.12% Rally Propels $480M Volume, Ranking 268th in Market Activity Amid Nuclear Energy and Supply Chain Shifts

On October 10, 2025, Uranium Energy (UEC) surged 8.12% while the stock’s trading volume jumped 131.9% to $0.48 billion, ranking it 268th in market activity. The rally followed renewed investor focus on nuclear energy infrastructure developments and geopolitical shifts in uranium supply chains. Analysts noted that the sector’s recent volatility reflects a mix of speculative positioning and macroeconomic factors, including inflation-linked commodity premiums and central bank policy adjustments.

Market participants highlighted that UEC’s performance outpaced broader energy indices, driven by technical buying near key resistance levels and short-covering activity. Trading data showed concentrated institutional participation in after-hours sessions, with open interest in uranium-linked derivatives reaching multi-month highs. However, caution persists as near-term fundamentals remain tied to regulatory uncertainties in key mining jurisdictions.

To set up this back-test accurately I need to nail down a few practical details: 1. Universe • Do we limit the search to U.S. listed shares (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX) or another market? 2. Pricing convention • Buy at the same day’s close and sell at the next day’s close (typical practice), or use open prices? 3. Portfolio construction • Equal-weight across the 500 names each day, with full turnover the next day (i.e., every day we refresh the list)? 4. Frictional costs • Ignore trading costs and slippage (default) or apply a specific commission / bid-ask spread assumption? Once these points are clear I can generate the daily trade lists, feed them into the back-testing engine, and return cumulative performance and risk statistics for Jan-2022 through today.
