The Tehran market on Saturday, November 14, 2026, witnessed a sharp upward trend across all major assets. The US Dollar (USD) sell rate climbed to 269,200 Tomans, reflecting increased demand in the early hours of trading. This pressure is partly attributed to the global surge in gold prices, which has historically influenced the local currency's stability and investor sentiment.
In the precious metals sector, the global gold ounce reached an unprecedented $3,887.60. This international rally, combined with the rising dollar rate, propelled the price of 18-karat gold in Iran to 25,762,962 Tomans per gram. The benchmark Emami coin followed suit, trading at 254,500,000 Tomans, while the Bahar Azadi coin stood at 247,000,000 Tomans, marking a significant jump from previous sessions.
The cryptocurrency market showed mixed signals but remained a focal point for local traders. Bitcoin (BTC) maintained its position around $67,059, while Ethereum (ETH) traded near $1,899.88. Interestingly, the Tether (USDT) rate in the local market is currently at 269,024 Tomans, closely mirroring the free market dollar rate, which suggests high liquidity and immediate demand for digital assets as a hedge against inflation.
