The Iranian financial market opened this Friday, November 13, 2026, under the heavy influence of a historic surge in global gold prices. The international gold ounce has reached an unprecedented $3,922.15, a level that has immediately impacted domestic valuations. In Tehran, 18-karat gold is now priced at 25,762,962 Tomans per gram, reflecting the intense pressure from international markets despite a relatively stable domestic exchange rate.
In the currency sector, the US Dollar is hovering just below the psychological 270,000 Toman mark, selling at 269,500. A notable trend is the pricing of Tether (USDT), which is trading at 271,274 Tomans. This 1,700 Toman premium over the physical dollar suggests heightened demand in the digital asset space and potential anticipation of further volatility as the new week approaches.
The gold coin market is mirroring the global rally. The Emami coin has climbed to 254,500,000 Tomans, while the Azadi coin is valued at 247,000,000 Tomans. The sheer magnitude of the gold ounce's rise has kept the 'bubble' in the coin market expanded, as investors prioritize gold as a hedge against global economic uncertainty.
Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market remains active with Bitcoin trading at $68,652. While digital assets continue to attract local capital, the primary narrative for today remains the precious metals sector. Market analysts are closely watching the $4,000 level for the gold ounce, as a breakthrough could trigger a significant revaluation of all gold-linked assets in the Iranian market.
