Exchange Center dollar sets record; remittance selling rate reaches 151,120 tomans

The US dollar at Iran's Currency and Gold Exchange Center set a fresh record on Wednesday, 22 July 2026 (31 Tir 1405). The remittance selling rate rose 205 tomans from the previous day, from 150,915 to 151,120 tomans, entering the 151,000 toman channel for the first time.

In the open market, the dollar climbed to about 191,500 tomans in the same day's trading, up roughly 0.6 percent from the prior day.

Continued military tensions and uncertainty over the path of negotiations and the war have kept upward pressure on the currency market.
