VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF is trading 3.1% down today as uranium and nuclear equities resume their downward trend, giving back gains from Monday's short-covering bounce.
- The fund is facing renewed selling pressure across its core holdings of uranium miners and nuclear utilities, which remain volatile amid shifting risk sentiment and concerns over higher interest rates.
- Broader U.S. market weakness is further weighing on the ETF, as major indices trade in the red and a decline in risk appetite pressures cyclical and commodity-linked sectors.
