BBC Persian Calls Tehran's Bourse Iran's Best-Performing Market; TEDPIX's 52% Gain Against 87.9% Point-to-Point Inflation (Aug 14, 2026)

A recent BBC Persian report cited roughly 52% growth in Tehran's TEDPIX index since the war began and called the bourse Iran's "best-performing market" against inflation, the dollar and gold. But TEDPIX closed Tuesday, August 11, 2026 at 5,736,485 points while Iran's Statistical Center's latest annual inflation reading (Tir 1405) is 66%, with point-to-point inflation at 87.9%, a gap that undercuts the "best-performing market" conclusion on methodological grounds.
