Bank Mellat Traded All Session at a Single Price of 1,199 Rials as 1.14 Billion Shares Sat Unfilled in the Buy Queue (Monday, 3 August 2026)

Bank Mellat locked at the top of its permitted price band on Monday, 3 August 2026: its first trade, session low, session high, last trade and closing price were all 1,199 rials. Behind that number, 1,138,716,770 shares of demand remained in 2,107 orders, with zero supply at all five best levels. The stock's base volume is 1 share, so the lock was not a base-volume artefact. The board price was a quoted price, not one every buyer could transact at.
