The Iranian financial markets opened on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, with a generally stable outlook across major asset classes. The US Dollar (USD) maintained its position, trading at 185,500 Toman for sell and 184,402 Toman for buy in the morning session. Other key currencies also showed consistent rates, with the Euro (EUR) selling at 214,050 Toman and the British Pound (GBP) at 250,550 Toman. The UAE Dirham (AED) was quoted at 50,500 Toman, and the Turkish Lira (TRY) at 3,885 Toman, indicating a relatively calm start to the trading day for foreign exchange.
In the gold and coin market, the Emami coin, a significant indicator for investors, was priced at 186,500,000 Toman. The Azadi coin followed closely at 183,000,000 Toman, while the Nim Seke reached 94,500,000 Toman. Gold 18-karat per gram, a common measure for retail gold, stood at 18,906,690 Toman. Globally, the gold ounce was trading at $4,381.40, reflecting international price movements that often influence local sentiment and pricing.
The cryptocurrency market presented a mixed picture. Bitcoin (BTC), the leading digital asset, was trading at $63,913, showing continued interest and activity in the crypto space. Ethereum (ETH) followed at $1,871.85. Locally, the Tether stablecoin (USDT) was valued at 186,693 Toman, closely mirroring the USD exchange rate and highlighting its role as a bridge between traditional and digital currencies for Iranian traders.
Market participants are closely watching both domestic economic indicators and global trends. While the Toman exchange rates for major currencies like the USD show stability, underlying factors such as inflation expectations and geopolitical developments continue to shape investor sentiment. The performance of gold and cryptocurrencies often reflects a blend of safe-haven demand and speculative interest, making these markets particularly dynamic.
