Denison Mines Corp (DNN 1.27%) closed at $2.75, down 1.43%. Shares traded about 108.69 million in volume, approximately 1.46 times its three-month average of 72.01 million.
Markets moved higher. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) rose 0.41% to 6,688.46, and the Nasdaq Composite(NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) gained 0.30% to 22,660.01, lifted by strength in healthcare and industrial shares.
Among uranium peers, Cameco Corp (CCJ -0.45%) slid 0.71% to $83.86, and NexGen Energy Ltd (NXE 2.18%) declined 0.67% to $8.95.
Denison's pullback comes after a series of encouraging developments: the company secured provincial environmental approval for its Wheeler River project, resumed production at McClean Lake, and processed the first ore from McClean North's SABRE method. High-grade discoveries at McClean South further bolster the exploration outlook. However, today's weaker sector tone and profit-taking in resource names tempered upside. Investors may view this as a pause rather than a reversal, especially given the strong underlying fundamentals in uranium markets.
