Financial and derivatives turnover on Iran's commodity exchange reaches 11.3 trillion tomans

According to the Iran capital market news agency SENA, 1,770,000,000 contracts worth 11,300 billion tomans, or 11.3 trillion tomans, were concluded on the financial and derivatives market of the Iran Mercantile Exchange on Sunday 2 August 2026 (11 Mordad 1405).

The exchange's derivatives market covers options and futures contracts on underlying assets such as gold funds, silver bullion and saffron. These instruments let a trader hedge price risk or take a position on price direction without taking physical delivery of the commodity.

The growth in this market's value in recent months has come alongside the expansion of gold and silver commodity funds, and the exchange has increased the number of live options contracts written on those funds.
