Canadian uranium producer Cameco Corp. rose the most in a year in Toronto on speculation suspending operations at its Rabbit Lake mine will support sagging prices for the raw material in nuclear reactor fuel.

Cameco climbed 6.8 percent to C$16.73 at 1:56 p.m. after rising 7.5 percent, the most intraday since April 22, 2015. The shares have declined 19 percent in the past 12 months.
