Why Sky Quarry Inc. (SKYQ) Stock is Gaining This Week

In This Article:

We recently compiled a list of the Energy Stocks that are Gaining This Week. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ:SKYQ) stands against the other energy stocks.

After finding itself right in the crosshairs of President Trump’s global trade war, the energy industry itself has finally found some respite over the last week. At the time of writing this piece, the overall energy sector surged by more than 6% over the last five days, compared to gains of just around 0.9% by the wider market. After falling to a multi-year low, the Brent crude oil price has also increased by over 7.4% over the last five days and is now hovering just below the $68 mark.

One sector that has benefited greatly from the escalating trade tensions between US and China is that of uranium. After President Trump ordered a probe into potentially imposing tariffs on critical mineral imports, including uranium, investors are piling in to acquire stakes in domestic uranium companies. The sector has also been a hot topic recently due to a renewed global interest in nuclear energy, which has emerged as a leading candidate to power the ongoing AI boom and its accompanying data centers. A great example is how America’s all three leading cloud services companies signed deals last year to procure nuclear-powered energy.
