In our opinion, there will be two leading commodities in 2017. Uranium and Lithium - Lithium Report Update I  . While uranium was flagging until the end of 2016, there were some strong since for a turnaround recently shown. So, there was a record number of running nuclear reactors achieved in 2016. Only a few days ago, the world’s largest uranium producing country, Kazakhstan, announced, that it will reduce its uranium production by 10% in 2017. It seems that a supply shortage may be inevitable and therefore also a sharp recovery of the uranium spot-price. Especially as most of the long-term supply-contracts will run out soon and the large producers will not be interested in renewing them based on the current low prices.
Lithium may remain the second important commodity. The electro-revolution has just begun, the large giga-factories, which are manufacturing energy storage systems, mainly for the automotive sector, spring up like mushrooms. However, many new companies have entered the market in 2016, there will not be any new producing projects before the year 2020. This all will result in a massive supply shortage, which would hold the lithium price on a stable and high level.
