By around 11:00 a.m. on Monday, 22 Tir 1405 (13 July 2026), Tehran's main index (TEDPIX) was down about 1.9% at 4,961,293, staying below the 5-million mark for a sixth straight session. At the same hour the free-market dollar traded near 179,800 tomans and 18-karat gold near 17,660,000 tomans a gram.
