Sweden lifts uranium ban as CanAlaska’s stock tumbles despite sector gains
Sweden is set to resume uranium mining after decades-long ban, reclassifying uranium as a regulated 'concession mineral' from January 2026. Meanwhile, CanAlaska Uranium's shares have been volatile, dropping significantly despite broader sector shifts and positive signals in the stock market.
Sweden's decision to overturn its uranium mining ban is a significant shift in policy. Starting January 2026, uranium will be treated as a regulated 'concession mineral'. This change comes amidst historic policy shifts in the broader uranium sector, including the United States' addition of uranium to its list of critical minerals. This move streamlines permitting processes and could lead to government subsidies in the stock futures market.
Contrasting this positive sector trend, CanAlaska Uranium's stock performance has been alarming. On Friday, shares shed another 7.8%, closing at CAD 0.59. This decline follows a 34.44% loss in just 10 days, with the stock trading near its 52-week low of CAD 0.58. The stock also showed extreme volatility on Friday, with an 18.97% intraday swing. Despite these challenges, the broader sector is experiencing positive policy changes, raising questions about CanAlaska Uranium's stock performance in the stock market.
