Index of the Month: MVNLRX - Nuclear's Big Comeback

This article is the latest in our new "Index of the Month" series. In this series, we\ll spotlight an index that stood out prominently due to its market impact, performance swings, or noteworthy trends. Our goal is to unpack the indices shaping today's investment landscape.

The MarketVector™ Global Nuclear Innovators Index (MVNLRXTR) delivered a standout performance in May, soaring +56% in May as nuclear energy regained center stage.

What’s driving the surge?

A fresh wave of policy support is breathing new life into the sector. President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders in May aimed at streamlining regulations for next-generation nuclear reactors and strengthening domestic uranium supply chains. This policy momentum has sparked renewed investor interest and boosted sentiment across the nuclear ecosystem.

Why it matters

As the world accelerates towards AI and  decarbonization, nuclear energy is increasingly viewed as a critical component. With its potential to provide consistent, low-carbon baseload power, nuclear innovation is gaining traction, and so are the companies leading the charge.
