Four ASX shares that are not letting that hold them back are listed below. Here's why they are storming higher:
Deep Yellow Limited (ASX: DYL)
The Deep Yellow share price has continued its stellar run and is up a further 11% to $1.17. Investors have been buying this uranium developer's shares this week after the uranium price surged higher.

The Deep Yellow share price is now up 38% since this time last week.
Nitro Software Ltd (ASX: NTO)
The Nitro share price has rocketed 39% higher to $1.57.
