Interesting offshoot of the Kazakh story? Kazakhstan is a major Uranium producer second globally only I think to Aussie? The unrest is driving up the prices of companies that also produce uranium. Clearly the source timing of the data is a moving target?

Uranium stocks jump as protests in Kazakhstan threaten global supply

Michelle Zadikian, BNN Bloomberg

The threat from recent protests and increasing political unrest in Kazakhstan are rippling through the global uranium market and is pushing shares of Canadian uranium producers higher.

Kazakhstan is the world’s largest uranium supplier, accounting for roughly 40 per cent of the global supply. The Central Asian country has been experiencing several days of violent protests in response to rising fuel prices, which has investors fretting whether uranium production will also be disrupted.
