Cameco (CCJ) looking to extend higher

The fundamental of Uranium continues to get better. Various countries like Japan and South Korea have now turned to nuclear power as a solution to the energy crisis. The U.S. and Europe recently proposed to put a cap on Oil supplied by Russia. Russia in turns turned off the gas pipe in Nordstream 1. The tit-for-tat economic war risks to unleash the worst energy crisis in Europe and by extension around the world. Already the European continent is facing a steep rise in electricity bills affecting a lot of the local businesses. As the outlook for Uranium gets better, 1 Uranium-mining company which could offer a leveraged play in Uranium sector is Cameco (symbol: CCJ). Below is the chart for the stock.
