The US dollar continued its gradual appreciation against the Iranian Toman, closing the evening session at a sell rate of 153,450 Toman and a buy rate of 152,542 Toman. This modest rise reflects ongoing pressure from regional trade imbalances and the central bank’s limited liquidity injections. Compared with the morning session, the dollar edged higher, signaling that demand for foreign currency remains robust among importers and travelers.
Gold prices also showed upward momentum. The Emami gold coin—the most widely tracked domestic gold benchmark—reached 177,000,000 Toman, up from the previous day's level. The 18‑karat gold price per gram stood at 17,735,814 Toman, while the international gold ounce was quoted at $4,744.70. The parallel rise in both domestic and global gold prices suggests investors are seeking safe‑haven assets amid currency volatility.
Cryptocurrency data was not disclosed in this snapshot, so no specific price figures can be reported. Nonetheless, the crypto market continues to attract attention from Iranian traders, especially for assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are often used to hedge against inflation and currency devaluation.
Key Takeaways- The USD sell price breached the 153,000 Toman threshold, indicating sustained buying pressure.
- Gold remains a preferred store of value; the Emami coin’s price crossed the 175 million mark.
- Lack of crypto pricing underscores the challenges of obtaining reliable data in the Iranian market, but interest in digital assets persists.
Analysts expect the central bank may intervene if the dollar climbs above 155,000 Toman, potentially through foreign exchange auctions. Gold’s trajectory will likely follow global trends, with any spikes in the US dollar index translating into higher local gold prices. Crypto participants should stay alert to regulatory announcements that could affect exchange accessibility.
Stay tuned for the next session’s updates, as market dynamics can shift quickly in response to geopolitical developments and domestic policy moves.
