Investing.com -- Shares of Cameco (NYSE:CCJ) climbed 1.9% in pre-open trading Tuesday as the market responded to news of a new nuclear power cooperation deal signed between Poland and Canada. In addition, investors are bottom-fishing after Monday's 15% sell-off on worries less nuclear power may be needed for data centers after China AI start-up DeepSeek revealed a purported more efficient AI model.

The agreement between the two countries establishes a legal framework for more intensive cooperation in the nuclear power sector. This development is particularly significant for Poland, which is actively seeking to diminish its dependence on coal for energy. The country has recently selected Westinghouse Electric to construct its inaugural nuclear power facility on the Baltic Sea coast. However, the financing details for this project have yet to be fully finalized.

Cameco's rebound reflects investor optimism around the potential for increased demand for uranium, as nuclear power gains traction as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. The company, which is one of the world's largest uranium producers, stands to benefit from the expansion of nuclear energy infrastructure in countries like Poland.

Despite the positive news, investors remain cautious as the full financial impact of the Poland-Canada deal on Cameco's bottom line is yet to be determined. The previous sell-off underscores the market's sensitivity to regulatory and environmental concerns that can swiftly affect the nuclear sector.

As the market continues to monitor Cameco's performance and the evolving landscape of nuclear energy, further developments in international agreements and energy policy will likely play a critical role in shaping the company's future prospects.
