In the evening session of June 11, 2026, the Iranian foreign exchange market showed a modest uptick in the US dollar’s selling rate, reaching 180,300 Toman while the buying rate settled at 179,233 Toman. The euro and British pound continued to trade at higher levels, with the euro at 207,950 Toman and the pound at 240,850 Toman. These movements reflect ongoing pressure from regional geopolitical developments and domestic monetary policy adjustments.
Paragraph 2Gold prices also displayed resilience. The Emami coin, a benchmark gold coin in Iran, was quoted at 182,000,000 Toman, edging slightly higher than the Azadi coin at 176,000,000 Toman. The 18‑karat gold price per gram stood at 17,788,909 Toman, while the international gold ounce price in USD remained at $4,077.20. Investors appear to be turning to precious metals as a hedge against currency volatility.
Paragraph 3On the cryptocurrency front, Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $62,859, showing a modest gain from the previous session. Ethereum (ETH) was priced at $1,646.59, and the stablecoin USDT was pegged locally at 180,990 Toman. The crypto market’s correlation with the Iranian rial is still limited, but the high dollar rate tends to push local crypto valuations upward, attracting speculative interest.
Paragraph 4Looking ahead, analysts suggest that the rial could face further depreciation if inflationary pressures persist, while gold and crypto assets may continue to serve as alternative stores of value. Traders are advised to monitor central bank announcements and global oil price trends, as both have a direct impact on Iran’s foreign exchange and commodity markets.
