# Putin calls on Russian government to study measures to restrict the export of strategic resources, causing a sharp rise in prices for nickel and uranium mining companies

According to a report by CCTV News, on September 11th local time, Russian President Putin stated at a government work meeting that **he has requested the government to study measures to restrict the export of strategic resources, including uranium, titanium, and nickel, while ensuring its own interests.**

Putin mentioned in his speech to government ministers that similar restrictions may also be imposed on other commodities. He pointed out that Russia is a major producer of natural gas, diamonds, and gold, with reserves of various strategic raw materials ranking among the top in the world. Natural gas accounts for nearly 22% of global reserves, gold nearly 23%, and diamonds nearly 55%. However, he emphasized that these measures do not need to be implemented "tomorrow" and should not harm Russia's own interests.

Putin's remarks led to a rise in nickel prices, with LME nickel futures closing up $371 or 2.4% at $16,112 per ton. Trade data shows that nearly 30% of Russia's nickel exports last year (29,172 tons) were shipped to the Netherlands and then re-exported to other European countries.

In addition, uranium mining company stocks also surged. In early trading on the US stock market, Canadian uranium mining company NexGen Energy rose over 6.4%, Cameco rose nearly 6.8% at one point, and Denison Mines rose over 6.7% at one point. Russia is the world's fourth-largest uranium producer, with approximately 44% of global uranium enrichment capacity.
