5 TSX uranium stocks to buy as demand for Canada supplies rise

The uranium stocks jumped in Canada on June 7 after it was reported that the United States is mulling reducing its reliance on Russian uranium imports and procuring more uranium domestically.

Some published reports suggest that the Biden administration is urging lawmakers to accept a US$ 4.3 billion proposal to enhance the country's enrichment capabilities, as well as other measures necessary to convert uranium into nuclear reactor fuel.

Notably, Canada is the world's second-largest producer of uranium and accounts for 13 per cent of the total production worldwide. Hence, such a proposal might benefit Canadian uranium producers.
