People should understand what the published prices are and what they are not. Here is a description of how "market prices" are determined, from the TradeTech website. I can't find the equivalent fine print on the UxC site, but they generate their values in essentially the same manner.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Weekly Spot Price Indicator is our judgment of the price at
which spot transactions for significant quantities of natural
uranium concentrates could be concluded as of the end of each
Friday.

The Long-Term Price Indicators for U3O8, Conversion, or SWU are our
judgment of the base price at which transactions for long-term
delivery of that product or service could be concluded as of the
last day of the month, for transactions in which the price at the
time of delivery would be an escalation of the base price from a
previous point in time.

Derivations and Comments

All Market Values are expressed in terms of US$.

All Market Values are based on:
- Data from recently completed transactions.
- Data from pending transactions.
- Firm bids to buy or borrow, and firm offers to sell or lend.
- Prices purchasers or rates borrowers have expressed a
willingness to pay, but for which we are not aware of firm bids to
buy or borrow and prices sellers or rate lenders have expressed
willingness to accept, but for which we are not aware of firm offers
to sell or lend.

In the determination of all Market Values, we do not consider:
- Prices associated with deliveries under old or renegotiated
contracts, or other than arm's-length transactions.
- Charges for transportation other than that customarily
provided by suppliers.
- Prices of services or materials delivered under long-term
contracts with primary suppliers.
