Iran's gold funds hold net assets around 678 trillion tomans as 582 billion tomans of retail money flows in

According to a report by Iran's capital market news agency Sena covering the week to 9 Mordad 1405 (31 July 2026), the net asset value of gold funds held around 678 trillion tomans while the funds attracted a combined 582 billion tomans of retail money. Turnover in gold bullion deposit certificates also rose over the same week.

Over that period spot gold opened the week at 4,077 dollars an ounce, slipped to 4,029 dollars in the early sessions, moved back above 4,100 dollars on Thursday and finished the week at 4,043 dollars, a weekly return of minus 0.45 percent. Silver opened at 58.43 dollars an ounce, rose as far as 59.08 dollars and closed at 57.66 dollars, a weekly return of plus 0.2 percent.

In the domestic market, a gram of 18 carat gold opened the week at 18,255,000 tomans, advanced to 18,810,000 tomans and ended the week at 18,665,000 tomans, a weekly return of minus 1 percent. In Sena's assessment, continued retail inflows into gold based instruments during a week of price correction indicate that some investors treated the pullback as a buying opportunity.
