The Tehran foreign exchange market started the session on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, with a noticeable upward trend. The US Dollar is currently selling at 260,500 Toman, maintaining a narrow spread with the buying rate of 258,958 Toman. Interestingly, Tether (USDT) is trading slightly higher at 260,689 Toman, signaling a persistent demand for digital liquidity among Iranian traders. Other major currencies like the Euro and British Pound are also seeing gains, trading at 291,050 and 344,350 Toman respectively.
The gold sector is experiencing intense pressure from the international market. With the global gold ounce price soaring to $4,196.70, domestic prices have reacted sharply. The 18-karat gold gram is now priced at 25,855,302 Toman. In the coin market, the benchmark Emami coin has reached 264,500,000 Toman, while the Azadi coin follows at 256,000,000 Toman. This surge reflects both the devaluation of the local currency and the record-breaking performance of gold on the global stage.
In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin continues its robust performance, trading at $83,670. While Ethereum remains relatively stable at $2,527.73, the overall sentiment remains bullish. The combination of high global commodity prices and local currency fluctuations is creating a complex environment for investors, who are increasingly looking toward hard assets and digital currencies to hedge against inflation.
