Uranium funds just shed nearly a third of their value at the exact moment AI power demand is shattering records, and the reason that contradiction matters comes down to which of three very different ETFs an investor happens to own.

Oklo has recently achieved a crucial milestone in the development of small modular reactors for nuclear energy. The VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF holds about 4.4% of its assets in Oklo stock.

Washington just directed $17.5 billion toward the nuclear supply chain, yet the ETFs most investors hold to capture that trade are quietly delivering something else entirely.

I rate the Global X Uranium ETF (URA) a BUY after its 18.9% correction, as stronger long-term contract pricing is set to support producer earnings. URA's recovery is likely to be led by established producers like Cameco, where improved contract prices are already becoming visible in realized earnings. The fund offers diversified exposure across uranium producers and the nuclear value chain, but carries heightened risk due to concentration and company-specific factors.

Inclusion places Terra Innovatum among the global companies that define the nuclear fuel cycle, expanding access to passive and thematic nuclear investors Index is tracked by the Global X Uranium ETF (URA), one of the largest dedicated uranium and nuclear sector ETFs Addition reflects Terra Innovatum's growing profile as a Nasdaq-listed, commercial-stage micro-modular reactor developer NEW YORK, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Innovatum Global N.V. (“Terra Innovatum” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NKLR), a developer of micro-modular nuclear reactors, today announced that its common shares have been added to the Solactive Global Uranium & Nuclear Components Total Return Index, effective at the open of trading on Monday, August 3, 2026.

The Trump Trade strategy has stopped paying off. Will it recover?

RENO, Nev., Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (“Eagle” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NUCL), a next-generation nuclear energy company that owns one of the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposits in the United States, today announced that it has been added to the Solactive Global Uranium & Nuclear Components Total Return Index (the “Solactive Index” or the “Index”), a step that qualifies the Company for the Global X Uranium ETF (NYSE Arca: URA). Eagle's inclusion in the Solactive Index comes as part of the Index's semi-annual rebalancing, with trading commencing at the market open on Monday, August 3, 2026.

If even an oil-rich country like Saudi Arabia wants nuclear power plants, that's a bullish signal for uranium miners and nuclear energy ETFs. The Global X Uranium ETF has delivered 20% annualized returns for the past five years.
