The Tehran foreign exchange desk saw the US dollar maintain a relatively stable range, with the sell price at 175,800 Toman and the buy price at 174,760 Toman. The euro remained weaker at 203,450 Toman, while the British pound held at 235,650 Toman. The local rial’s pressure reflects ongoing sanctions concerns and the Central Bank’s limited intervention capacity.
Gold and Coin UpdateGold’s 18‑karat price per gram climbed to 18,399,510 Toman, reinforcing the upward trend that began earlier this week. The Emami coin, a benchmark for investors seeking a tangible store of value, rose to 181,000,000 Toman, outpacing the Azadi coin which stayed at 176,000,000 Toman. The Nim Seke remained steady at 92,500,000 Toman, indicating a modest demand for diversified precious‑metal assets.
Crypto CornerCryptocurrency markets stayed active despite regulatory scrutiny. Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $61,786, showing resilience after a brief dip earlier in the day. Ethereum (ETH) held at $1,646.24, while the USDT stablecoin was priced at 175,780 Toman, closely mirroring the official dollar rate. These figures suggest that Iranian traders continue to use crypto as a hedge against currency volatility.
OutlookAnalysts expect the rial to stay under pressure unless the government announces a clear monetary easing plan. Gold and coin prices may keep climbing if inflation expectations rise, while crypto volumes could increase as investors search for alternative liquidity channels. Monitoring the Central Bank’s next policy move will be crucial for short‑term market direction.
