Free-Market Dollar Around 263,000 Tomans on Monday Evening, Nearly 2.3 Percent Below 14 Mehr

According to Alanchand, at 19:30 on Monday, 20 Mehr 1405 (October 12, 2026), one US dollar traded at 263,700 tomans on Tehran's free market, down 2,000 tomans (0.75 percent) from yesterday's 265,700. The 24-hour range on that source ran from 262,850 to 268,200 tomans, and the current price is 2.28 percent below a week ago.

TGJU recorded the rate at 2,627,100 rials (about 262,700 tomans) at about the same time, which is 15,950 rials below the previous day. The day's high on that source was 2,651,000 rials (265,100 tomans), and the current rate is 2.27 percent below 2,688,200 rials (268,820 tomans) on Tuesday, 14 Mehr. The two sources differ by about a thousand tomans, which comes down to the timing and reference exchange shops each uses.

For a longer view, the same source shows the dollar about 45 percent higher than on 22 Tir 1405 (180,985 tomans) and about 136 percent higher than on 21 Mehr 1404 (111,200 tomans). The Central Bank governor said around midday today that the dollar's upward trend had turned down because of the bank's measures; the figures above only show how the price has moved and are not a forecast of what comes next.
