Morning Market Overview
The Tehran exchange opened with the US dollar sell rate at 159,650 Toman and a buy rate of 158,705 Toman. The euro and pound continued their upward pressure, trading at 182,400 Toman and 211,450 Toman respectively. Regional currencies such as the AED and TRY remained stable, quoted at 43,900 Toman and 3,435 Toman.
Gold and Coin Prices
Gold remains a safe‑haven asset for Iranian investors. The Emami gold coin—the most widely tracked benchmark—was priced at 163,500,000 Toman, while the Azadi coin lingered at 158,000,000 Toman. The 18‑karat gold per gram stood at 16,133,708 Toman, and the international gold ounce was quoted at $4,126.30. These figures reflect a modest premium over the global spot price, driven by local demand and currency depreciation.
Cryptocurrency Landscape
Cryptocurrencies kept their momentum. Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $63,383, a slight dip from the previous day but still within the $60‑65 k range. Ethereum (ETH) was priced at $1,711.04, while the stablecoin USDT was pegged locally at 161,049 Toman per token, offering a quick conversion route for traders seeking to hedge against rial volatility.
Outlook and Investor Sentiment
Analysts expect the rial to stay under pressure as inflationary trends persist, but the central bank’s interventions could stabilize the market in the coming weeks. Gold’s steady rise suggests continued risk‑aversion, while the crypto market’s resilience points to growing adoption among younger investors. Keep an eye on the USD‑IRR spread and any policy announcements that could shift the balance.
All figures are based on the 09:00 Tehran session of June 23, 2026.
