Wednesday midday, 22 July 2026 (31 Tir 1405): the morning belonged to gold and the dollar, but the real intraday mover turned out to be oil. Brent rose about 2.5% to near $93 a barrel, its highest in more than a month. In Tehran the TEDPIX index stalled after two green sessions, hovering near 4,884,000, the free-market dollar held the 190,000-toman line, and gram gold and coins traded a touch higher. The Strait of Hormuz risk premium is keeping both oil and domestic inflation expectations alive.
