Tehran bourse opens Saturday with a divergence: main index down 0.63 percent while the equal weighted index rises

The first trading session of the week on the Tehran Stock Exchange opened on Saturday 1 August 2026 (10 Mordad 1405) with its gauges moving in opposite directions. According to Shakhesban data at 09:25 Tehran time, the main index was down about 33,000 points at around 5,042,000. Sahmino's own price board put the main index at 5,043,321 points at 09:24 the same day, down 31,778 points or 0.63 percent.

At the same hour the equal weighted index was moving the other way, up about 6,500 points at around 1,439,000. That gauge had closed on Wednesday 29 July at 1,432,861 points. The Iran Fara Bourse index was trading down about 67 points at around 40,901, after ending Wednesday at 40,968.

The main index had closed at 5,075,000 points on Wednesday 29 July, the last working day of the previous week. The equal weighted index outperforming the main index means selling pressure in the opening hours was concentrated in the large index heavyweights, the same pattern seen in Wednesday's session. The figures above are from the early part of the session; Tehran's official session ends at 12:30, so the closing figures may differ.
