The Iranian financial market opened on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, with a significant surge in gold prices driven by international markets. The global gold ounce has reached an unprecedented $4,175.70, which has directly impacted domestic rates. In Tehran, the Emami gold coin is currently priced at 255,000,000 Toman, while 18-karat gold has climbed to over 25.5 million Toman per gram, reflecting high volatility in the precious metals sector.
In the currency corridor, the US Dollar is selling at 256,700 Toman, maintaining a relatively stable position compared to the previous session. However, the Tether (USDT) rate remains slightly higher at 258,000 Toman, indicating a persistent demand for digital assets as a hedge against local currency fluctuations. Other major currencies like the Euro and British Pound are trading at 291,100 and 339,700 Toman, respectively.
The cryptocurrency market shows Bitcoin trading at $83,286, continuing its bullish trend in late 2026. Ethereum is currently priced at $2,671.03. Market analysts suggest that the decoupling of gold and traditional equities, combined with geopolitical shifts, is keeping the Iranian market in a state of high sensitivity, particularly regarding the gold-to-currency ratio.
