Regional currencies like the UAE Dirham (AED) were quoted at 47,600 Toman, and the Turkish Lira (TRY) at 3,770 Toman.

The price of 18-karat gold per gram also climbed to 18,843,436 Toman, aligning with the global gold ounce price which stood at $4,443.80, indicating a bullish trend in precious metals.
Cryptocurrency markets presented a mixed picture. Bitcoin (BTC), the leading digital asset, was trading at $63,382, showing some volatility but holding above key support levels. Ethereum (ETH) followed at $1,728.83. The stablecoin Tether (USDT) was closely tracking the USD exchange rate, priced at 173,346 Toman, reflecting its peg to the US dollar and its role as a bridge between traditional and digital currencies for Iranian traders.
Overall, the morning session on Friday, June 5, 2026, highlighted a stable currency market, a rising trend in gold and coins, and a somewhat volatile but resilient cryptocurrency sector. Market participants will be closely watching for any new economic indicators or geopolitical developments that could influence these trends in the coming days.
