Physical market volume on the Iran Mercantile Exchange rose 24.4 percent in the week to 9 Mordad

In the week to 9 Mordad 1405 (31 July 2026), the physical market of the Iran Mercantile Exchange traded 3,670,001 tonnes of goods worth 97.8 trillion toman. According to the Iran Capital Market News Agency (SENA), that volume was up 24.4 percent, or 721,000 tonnes, on the previous week.

By composition, base metals and the steel chain took the bulk of turnover, with copper, rebar and bloom billet topping the weekly value table. By volume, cement, iron ore pellet and iron ore concentrate led the trading, and pellet returned to the list of most traded products after several weeks away.

The value traded by the exchange's top ten companies in the same week exceeded 39.9 trillion toman, about 41 percent of the total physical market turnover. The concentration in the steel chain and building materials indicates that demand from Iran's basic industries has held up despite energy restrictions and wartime conditions.
