A Nuclear Renaissance Is Reviving Long Stagnant Uranium Markets – Sprott ETFs Is Giving Investors Multiple Forms Of Exposure To The Heavy Metal

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga Uranium is one of the latest metals to see its price surge on clean energy demand. The key fuel in nuclear power plants had been declining for decades, but a recent renewed interest in nuclear power as a clean energy source to help economies transition to a fossil fuel-free future has revived investor interest. Uranium prices are up more than 19% since the start of the year as of this writing, trading above $58 per pound in August – the highest it’s been since April of last year, according to data from Trading Economics. Nuclear Power Is The Not-So-New Clean Energy Rising Star The recent surge in uranium prices has been driven largely by recent policy shifts that have made nuclear energy a higher priority as nations work to meet sustainability goals as quickly as possible. Earlier in August, for example, Sweden said it needs to triple its nuclear power capacity over the next decade in order to keep up with rising electricity demand in the country. In the United States, tax credits and investment initiatives in last year’s Inflation Reduction Act have clearly indicated the renewed focus on nuclear energy in the country. Joining Sweden are the UK, Canada, Japan and France which have each announced plans to ramp up uranium supply in efforts to reduce the world’s dependency on Russian uranium. The news has made some investors wonder why all the sudden interest in nuclear energy is cropping up now. But those in the industry are saying it’s actually always been here. “Nuclear is one of those silent contributors,” said Nuclear Energy Institute’s Director of Markets and Policy Benton Arnett in a recent episode of Sprott Radio. “A lot of folks don’t realize it’s producing 20% of our national electricity consumption here in the U.S. and has been doing that very quietly for decades.” It’s a similar story in other countries renewing their focus on nuclear. The reason it’s captured so much attention now is precisely because it’s already fairly well established in the countries that are reinvesting in it. “It is the largest carbon-free generator of power in the [United States.],” Arnett said. As the impacts of climate change have spurred a sense of urgency in the clean energy transition, nations are looking for a faster path away from fossil fuels. While renewables like wind and solar are still key in the long term, nuclear is the energy source that’s already providing a large quantity of clean power for many around the globe. Scaling that up would be a faster solution than building new renewable capacity from scratch. Scaling Up Nuclear Could Push Uranium Into A Supply-Demand Crunch As nations around the globe build new nuclear power plants, uranium – the key fuel supply needed for nuclear energy – is seeing record spikes in demand. In fact, the world’s existing uranium mines were already falling short of demand even before that demand spiked. According to the World Nuclear Association, production in recent years has only met 90% of current nuclear power plant needs. “The number that we’re focused on is trying to hit 150 million pounds or more,” said Sprott Asset Management CEO John Ciampaglia in a Bloor Street Capital interview. “That’s what we think is the annual replacement rate for the world’s existing nuclear power plants.” Getting to that target replacement rate will mean new investments from miners in the exploration and development of new uranium mines, a process that typically takes years. In the meantime, uranium prices could keep shooting higher as growing demand quickly outpaces the capacity of existing uranium mines. Sprott Offers Four Ways To Trade Bullish Uranium Assumptions Sprott has been a leader in precious metals – investing for decades – so expanding into energy transition themes was a natural fit as uranium, lithium, nickel and other metals have become key to so many clean energy projects. The company currently offers four funds for investors who are bullish on uranium and want to gain exposure to the growing market: Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (NYSEARCA: URNM), Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF (NASDAQ: URNJ), Sprott Energy Transition Materials ETF (NASDAQ: SETM), and the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust. The first two are focused on uranium miners. While these stocks have felt the pressure of rising interest rates and the high costs of investing in new exploration and development activity, they’ve still managed to pull off healthy gains of over 9% year-to-date, as of this writing. Juniors, meanwhile, climbed nearly 12% in the three-month period ending in July – though they’re still down slightly since the start of the year. Likewise, shares of URNM have rallied 26% since June as of this writing while Sprott’s juniors ETF soared 35% in the same period. The Physical Uranium Trust is the world’s largest physical uranium fund — it “invests and holds substantially all of its assets in uranium in the form of U3O8”, with the goal of providing “a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding uranium.” SETM provides pure-play access to a range of critical minerals necessary for the global clean energy transition including uranium.

After $8.8 Million IPO, Hanryu Rolls Out Multiple Revenue-Generating Upgrades To FANTOO, The Fandom App Connecting The Growing Global Audience Of K-Culture Fans

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga Hanryu Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HRYU) has had an eventful few weeks after its IPO closed last month, generating about $8.8 million in gross proceeds. In total, the company has raised approximately $53million over multiple fundraising rounds to date as its popular fandom social media app FANTOO grows to a user base of over 26 million and the company unveils a series of upgrades and new features slated to roll out in the coming months. Here’s a look at some of the milestones from the past month and how Hanryu is leveraging those to add new revenue potential to its popular fandom app. What Is FANTOO? Hanryu first launched FANTOO in 2021 as an all-in-one social media platform for K-culture fans worldwide. As K-pop, K-dramas and other forms of entertainment from South Korea continue to gain a growing international audience, there still hasn’t been a single dedicated destination so far where fans could go for any and all fandoms they are part of. Moreover, language barriers were a major hurdle preventing people with a shared fandom from connecting over the music, show or film that they love. FANTOO – with its real-time translation technology across 17 languages and features that allow users to create or join clubs built around any fandom – finally created a way to unify this global audience in one platform. For fans, it’s a way to find community and friendship even if they live somewhere with few other K-culture fans nearby. For Hanryu, it’s an exciting revenue opportunity with the massive advertising potential of a site with millions of dedicated fans. But advertising is just one of the revenue channels Hanryu is building through the platform. It also generates revenue from ticket sales to live shows and transaction fees on the buying and selling that happen in the eBay -like (NASDAQ: EBAY) shop section of FANTOO. The Future Of FANTOO Just days after the closing of its IPO, Hanryu announced the launch of version 2.0 of FANTOO. The upgraded app adds powerful data analytics to help deliver personalized content based on interest settings and the communities in which a user is engaged. It also makes a few updates to the interface to make it more user-friendly and intuitive. “Version 2.0 is also a more robust platform for revenue generation through multiple streams,” said Hanryu CEO Kang Chang Hyeok. “We look forward to releasing additional features and system improvements in the future." One of those future improvements is an AI-powered conversational virtual assistant. Later in August, Hanryu announced that it had partnered with Saltlux Inc. (KOSDAQ: 304100), the company behind Talkbot, an intelligent chatbot. Together, the companies will develop a virtual assistant for FANTOO built on technology similar to Talkbot that can guide users through the platform, make recommendations based on users’ interests and deliver personalized news and updates about their fandom. Slated to launch before the end of this year, the FANTOO virtual assistant is just the beginning. Later, Hanryu plans to use AI voice synthesis and deep learning tech to let users customize the voice of their virtual assistant to sound like their favorite artist or actor – or even themselves. Earlier this month, Hanryu teased even more new chat features coming to the app soon, including emoji purchasing, friend recommendations and club chat rooms where members can join in on club-wide conversations with like-minded fans from around the world – all with the convenience of real-time multilingual translation. A similar open chat room will give users a way to connect with users from other fandoms as well. Alongside the new chat room features, FANTOO will also soon have enhanced private chats where users can talk over an encrypted channel as well as video call functionality so fans who connect through the app can have “face-to-face” conversations with each other. “FANTOO is not just a space for fandom, but it is a place for fans with the same interests to meet and form relationships through chatting,” Hyeok said. “We expect these additional new features, including both the current and planned future upgrades, will increase revenue generation through FANTOO."

The Most Important Things Everyone Should Know Before Investing In Gold IRAs

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga When it comes to planning for a secure retirement, it is essential to explore all available avenues. Traditional investment options like stocks and bonds have their merits, but there is another store of value that often goes overlooked – gold Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). A gold IRA is a type of self-directed retirement account where the holder invests in physical gold instead of conventional assets such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds. Here are five things you need to know about gold IRAs. Harnessing Tax Advantages For Optimal Gains One of the most significant advantages of gold IRAs lies in the attractive tax benefits they offer. Depending on the type of gold IRA you open, you can enjoy favorable tax treatment either during the contribution phase or when you eventually withdraw your funds. For traditional IRAs and Simple Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs, contributions are not taxed, providing an immediate advantage for investors. In contrast, Roth IRAs tax contributions but offer the promise of tax-free withdrawals. Additionally, traditional and SEP IRA contributions are tax-deductible, further enhancing their appeal to investors seeking to maximize their gains. Shielding Your Assets From The Ravages of Inflation In times of economic uncertainty, where the value of the dollar can fluctuate unpredictably, gold presents a historically reliable hedge against inflation. History has shown that gold prices tend to rise when the dollar's value declines, making it an attractive long-term investment. Gold values have proven resilient against interest rate fluctuations, offering stability and solid returns. By incorporating gold into your retirement portfolio through a gold IRA, you can shield your portfolio from the erosive effects of inflation, ensuring that your wealth retains its value over time. A Safe Harbor Amidst Market Turmoil? In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, financial markets are prone to sudden swings and unexpected turbulence. Stock and bond investments can be particularly vulnerable, experiencing significant volatility during economic downturns. However, gold prices have historically displayed a tendency to hold steady during periods of economic turmoil, making gold IRAs an oasis of stability in an uncertain landscape. Strategic Diversification For Sustainable Returns Many experts say the key to successful investing lies in building a well-diversified portfolio, leveraging the strengths and advantages of different asset classes. While high-risk, high-reward investments have their place, a prudent and balanced approach is essential. Gold, as a more conservative asset, plays a crucial role in creating a diversified investment portfolio. While gold very often won’t witness rapid appreciation, the metal is effective at mitigating risk and enhancing stability – preventing extreme losses during turbulent market conditions. By incorporating gold IRAs into your investment strategy, you can strike the optimal balance between growth and security, multiplying the potential for sustainable returns. Choosing The Right Gold IRA Firm – An Option To Consider One leading IRA worth considering is offered by Preserve Gold, a U.S.-based precious metals firm with 0 BBB complaints and excellent reviews. The company specializes in helping individuals and families diversify and protect their wealth through tangible precious metals. The firm provides a selection of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins and bars.

The company's knowledgeable team assists clients in making educated purchasing decisions while prioritizing security and ease of transaction. A gold IRA can be an excellent addition to a retirement portfolio. It offers numerous benefits that can help you protect and grow your savings over time. When deciding to invest in a gold IRA, having a trusted partner like Preserve Gold is key to achieving your financial goals. This post contains sponsored content.

Has ARKK Been Oversold? Traders Are Doubling Down On A Potential Innovation Recovery With This Leveraged ETF

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKK) was an investor darling in the first year of the pandemic with its robust portfolio of COVID-era winners like Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM). But the disruptive tech ETF took a beating in 2022, falling more than 67% throughout the year. However, this year, ARKK seems to have begun a slow and arduous recovery, gaining over 40% year-to-date despite a widespread selloff this summer. Still, it’s far from its 2020 peak of over $150 per share, and some bullish investors believe the partial recovery this year is a sign that the ETF is ready to regain its former glory. Here’s what’s behind that bullish outlook. A Potential Upcoming Pause In Rate Hikes As Economic Data Gives Cause For Optimism Investors remain optimistic that the Federal Reserve will pause interest rate hikes at its upcoming meeting on September 20. In August, key economic indicators were largely mixed but still suggested that inflation was cooling overall. While consumer prices rose from 3% in June to 3.2% in July, core inflation – consumer prices with food and energy prices stripped out– declined slightly from 4.8% in June to 4.7%. And it’s that core inflation that the Federal Reserve wants to see come down to its 2% target. If interest rate hikes are paused, the macroeconomic tailwind this month could add more lift to ARKK which has already begun recovering some of its August losses. Despite Investor Exodus, ARKK Still Has A Potentially Promising Growth Portfolio ARKK may have missed the explosive AI-generated growth of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), but the top 10 holdings are dotted with underdog growth stocks. For example, the app and game developer platform Unity Software (NYSE: U) just landed a deal this summer to use Unity’s gaming software in Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) upcoming virtual reality headset, Apple Vision Pro. Zoom, the video communications platform that’s been relatively neglected by investors after its pandemic-era boom, has been building up a stockpile of cash that now sits at about $6 billion. It’s planning to use that to grow its enterprise vertical, one of its most successful segments. It’s also spending some of that on new AI-enhanced features, like the new AI Companion, a built-in AI-powered assistant that can catch you up on meetings if you’re late, auto-generate meeting summaries, and even give you feedback on your conversational and presenting skills. You Can Potentially Magnify Your Bullish ARKK Views With the AXS 2X Innovation ETF For investors who see the summer tumble as a hiccup in ARKK’s overall upward trajectory, AXS Investments has designed a unique leveraged ETF just for you. The AXS 2X Innovation ETF (TARK) seeks 200% of the daily performance of the ARK Innovation ETF. That 2x leverage gives investors a chance to turn the ETF’s slow and rocky recovery into more substantial gains. That added leverage does increase the risk of using TARK, so it’s important to use it for short-term trades, such as the potential upswing following the Fed’s upcoming meeting. But when used carefully, TARK is a useful tool for traders who are staunchly bullish on disruptive tech and see the periodic panicked selloffs as an opportunity to find yield.

Naurt supercharges delivery industry as it goes public with innovative geo-location software

Naurt

The global “last mile” food and package delivery industry is worth almost $990b and is facing immense pressures to manage costs and cope with demand. Helping them deliver on their promise and create operational efficiencies, geo-location start-up Naurt today announcing the public launch of their software which is set to redefine the delivery ecosystem. Having successfully completed over 80 pilots with a range of organisations, Naurt is launching with a £300,000 funding from venture builder Founder + Lighting to propel its ambitious scale-up plans. The Naurt platform is laser focussed on fixing the biggest issue facing delivery drivers: the arduous task of finding the best parking spot and the correct building entrance. By showcasing the optimal locations, Naurt guarantees quicker deliveries, ensuring parcels never get lost or delayed. This innovation not only enhances delivery capacity by 5% to 15%, but it also significantly impacts delivery companies’ gross profit margins by minimising the key industry “stop cost” metric. This measures the number of deliveries made per shift divided by the length of time it’s taken the driver to complete. During its beta testing (last 18 months), Naurt has collaborated with 83 organisations, who have reported a 6.67% increase in daily deliveries. This boost, equating to an additional delivery per day for drivers, translates into substantial financial savings for companies, especially when labour costs account for a substantial 40% of delivery service expenses. Founded in 2020, Naurt has been on a mission to refine GPS tracking accuracy. The company’s unique software-first approach has enabled them to deliver significant business impact and has been recognised by winning Tech Nation’s Rising Stars start-up competition, outperforming 627 others. With a rapidly expanding team, which includes industry stalwarts Lucy Woolfenden, former CMO at Yolt, and Cien Solon, ex-Zilch, Naurt is poised to scale the business. Jack Maddalena, CEO of Naurt, said, “We see many businesses miss out due to poor levels of location data quality. Now that we have proven our quality of location tracking and data, this will lift the constraints and open possibilities for teams. Naurt has unlocked this opportunity for businesses, with the delivery sector being our initial focus. It's become clear that accurate location tracking alone is not sufficient in this fast paced industry, there's a desperate need for location intelligence in each and every delivery. A lack of which is costing businesses and people time, money and safety. We have created a solution that is able to improve on this without the need for extra hardware. The work we are doing will be transformational for people and businesses around the world”. The current economic environment has witnessed a shift from growth to profitability. Final mile companies are striving to streamline operations, making Naurt’s solution increasingly pertinent. Their patent-pending software not only ensures efficient deliveries by determining optimal parking spots and building entrances, but it also amasses invaluable data, with over 500 million location points collected in collaboration with global delivery giants. Recent studies, like the research paper from Washington University, have underscored the need for intelligent parking solutions, highlighting potential savings of up to 27.9% in parking search time. This further emphasises the value Naurt brings to the industry. “We are confident that Naurt has a globally unrivalled location-tracking solution. Last-mile delivery problems are costing businesses millions each year and Naurt will help slash these inefficiencies.” added Conor Moylan, Chief Investment Officer at Founder + Lightning Looking ahead, Naurt is eager to integrate with numerous delivery companies, aspiring to become an industry-standard software solution. Their vision extends beyond deliveries; they foresee their technology aiding utility companies in asset tracking, potentially revolutionising maintenance protocols.
