Westwater Resources Soars 13.01% on U.S. Anti-Dumping Ruling

On July 18, 2025, Westwater Resources surged 13.01% in pre-market trading, marking a significant rise in its stock price.

Westwater Resources has publicly expressed its support for the U.S. Department of Commerce's anti-dumping ruling on Chinese graphite. This ruling imposes a substantial 93.5% duty on graphite-based anode materials imported from China, aiming to protect domestic producers from unfair trade practices.

The U.S. graphite industry is undergoing a strategic transformation due to the imposition of high tariffs on Chinese imports. This shift is expected to create supply gaps in the electric vehicle (EV) market, providing opportunities for domestic producers like Westwater Resources to expand their market share.
