Prior to 2019, Kazakhstan, the world's largest uranium producer (42% of global supply), had no price discipline and sold all production at market price regardless of scarcity signals; after the 2019 tenge devaluation, Kazakhstan adopted price discipline and began holding back production, signaling a shift toward producer control of supply.

Nick LawsonEvidence Quote
“The Kazuks who are the cheapest and the biggest producer of uranium had no sort of discipline or price discipline up until 2019. Whatever they produced, they would sell. And it took the Tangi devaluation around the time of COVID for them to actually start thinking, well, hold on, we're crazy. We're the biggest producer. Let's start holding back some pounds.”
