2208 GMT - Among Australia-listed uranium miners, Lotus Resources has been hardest hit by concerns about raw materials supply due to the Iran conflict. Lotus's share price has almost halved since the start of March. Ord Minnett says Lotus's supplies of acid and sulphur look secure at present, but fuel is more precarious. "Lotus's diesel forward orders and stocks should see it through to early July, but supply is refined in the Middle East where the duration of the transport blockages and extent of refinery damage are uncertain," analyst Matthew Hope says. Lotus is standing still on July orders to see how volatility plays out. "Disruption cannot be ruled out as it depends on the conflict," Ord Minnett says. Lotus ended Tuesday at A$1.205, below Ord Minnett's A$3.90/share target. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
