The Iranian financial market concluded its Friday evening session on June 19, 2026, with a relatively stable performance across key indicators. The US Dollar continued to hold its ground, with the sell rate recorded at 160,000 Toman and the buy rate at 159,053 Toman. This stability in the primary foreign exchange rate often sets the tone for other market segments, providing a sense of predictability for traders and investors.
In the precious metals sector, the Emami gold coin experienced a modest uptick, closing at 160,500,000 Toman. This slight increase suggests ongoing demand for physical gold as a hedge against potential economic uncertainties or as a store of value.

Gold 18k per gram, a common measure for jewelry and smaller investments, stood at 15,904,012 Toman. Globally, the gold ounce was valued at $4,147.40, indicating a strong international gold market.
The cryptocurrency market displayed a resilient posture, with Bitcoin (BTC) trading at $63,168. This level reflects continued investor interest despite broader market fluctuations. Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, was priced at $1,701.54. Tether (USDT), a popular stablecoin, maintained its peg closely to the US Dollar, trading at 158,897 Toman, slightly below the official USD sell rate, which is typical for stablecoins in local markets.
Other major currencies also maintained their positions. The Euro (EUR) was selling at 183,400 Toman, and the British Pound (GBP) at 211,600 Toman. Regional currencies like the UAE Dirham (AED) were trading at 42,500 Toman, and the Turkish Lira (TRY) at 3,445 Toman.
