Tehran bourse retail turnover tops 10 trillion tomans in Saturday's first hour

The value of retail turnover in shares and equity funds on the Tehran Stock Exchange passed 10 trillion tomans (10 hemat) in the first hour of trading on Saturday 1 August 2026 (10 Mordad 1405). According to Eghtesad Online, the figure put a substantial volume of liquidity into circulation in the market and drew traders' attention.

Retail turnover is one of the conventional measures of liquidity and of retail investor participation in the equity market, and is calculated separately from total turnover, which includes block trades and debt securities.

The jump in liquidity was recorded on a day when the Tehran equity market presented a split picture, with the main index retreating while the equal weighted index moved the other way and rose, a pattern indicating that selling pressure was concentrated in the larger listings.
